All we ever wanted to do was to cocoon you
To keep you safe and warm and hidden away
We shut out the lights but we don't want to confuse you
You can communicate in digital ways, these days
They sealed all the doors and said they're trying to protect us
Then the policemen started running away
They tell me isolation is preservation
But I don't care too much for staying that way
Because I prefer the analogue days, at my age
Sitting by the window frame
The newsreel playing the same old same again
But I can see your flicker through the glass
And what I wouldn't give for just one touch of your hand
To let me know it's passed
All we ever wanted to do was to cocoon you
To keep you safe and warm for just one more day
We shut out the lights but we don't want to confuse you
We can cocoon together better that way
Sitting by the window frame
The newsreel playing the same old same again
But I can see your flicker through the glass
And what I wouldn't give for just one touch of your hand
To let me know it's passed
