lyrics

The worst part is it hurts you when we hug
Because the curse is in your bones
Although your mind is strong
Your body is weaker each day
I’m filling in a book about your life, but the details will never be enough.
I want you to tell the story
Your prognosis was March, then May
But you’re still here today!

I’m helpless, I don’t have a clue
but we can sit here with your pain together
In this white confined room

The deep chamber in my chest that holds my heart is tight and burning
Oh I’m yearning for better days
I wish I could take you with me to see them.
I’m sorry, but you hold the pain.
It’s not your fault, let me help you hold it.
I want it, I need it,
I’ll spend all my time with you by your side

I’m helpless, I don’t have a clue what to do
but we can sit here with your pain together
In this white confined room
Sprinkled with your British belongings
These cds, toys and memories
For a whole life
This is what you bring with you for the last steps
How confronting
McCartney will be with you, till the end
So we sing along with him

The doctors have said there’s nothing they can do
They said “three months, that’s what I’d give you”
No one I know can relate to what I’m going through
It looks all grey out here, where are the hues?
I’d take black and blue at the moment, at least it’s a change
