F C Bb
Laying in his cell, confined to just

A nurse can't seem to tell if he's alright
F C Bb
There's silence from his wife

F C Bb
Does he really even know them?
F C
There's no pain, but
Bb
This cancer can't be good
F C Bb
So I am hanging on his every word

Pleading you've done the best you could
F C Bb
His face weak from all the medication
F C Bb
I'm determined to sing him of my revelations
F C Bb
Send him on his way
