Lyrics

You lay there in the hours of long waiting
A patient with all patience for me.
That machine kept ticking and ticking
And I remember drumming along to it
Trying to find a pulse in the chaos
A rhythm to make sense of it all.
The chair beckoned me each night you were there
Longing that I might sleep in it
Maybe have the courage to dream in it.
But courage failed me and my heart shook
For every drop of morphine some life it took
We exchanged knowing thoughts and loving looks
Our best sentences redundant and cold in the light of each other.
I would hold you for a second shorter than I could
Worrying that my arms might stop there and stick
And never release you to your heavenward trip.
Did you know and feel me there?
My God I was present.
Flinching, dying, shaking and crying but I was there.
I'm sure I was there.
You were beautiful the night you left your body for life
Like an old king before subjects,
Laid out grand and pure.
I could have expected a fanfare in that room,
As I look past your wires and out to the moon.
Horns would be blowing! Flags would be waving!
The failures of medicine leading you to salvation.
Where the wind would be blowing against your face as your waving
To the people who paved the path that you're pacing
And a beautiful girl is standing and waiting
By a King of all kings who is already bracing
For the weight of your body thrown into His arms,
He wraps His around you,
Your head by His heart.
O won't it be fun?! Won't it be grand?!
When your final breath comes and I loosen my hand.
But here in this sterile room I stand
And look at the man who made me a man.
Your final breath came with no pain of disdain.
Comfortably numb.
Shining on.
Like a diamond cast into the sea.
