Only forever stands by

Counting all your heart beats

Forever is standing by

Are you still breathing?

The pulsating rhythms

The smell of indecision

It’s your final feat

A list of your decisions

A Last Will to test regrets

Lay by your last receipt

And so I played Hallelujah

To pretend I really knew ya

And dropped those tears right by my feet

And as your torment fled

The desert fires they spread

And took custody

And I will sing your last lullaby

Fighting tears to say all of my best goodbyes

And I will sing your lullaby

Fighting tears to say all of my best goodbyes

Only forever is standing by

Are you still breathing?

Forever stands by

Can you still hear me?

And if you’re coming to visit

Or make amends and drown right in it

Leave your unbridled joy right at the door

Cause it’s so heavy in here

And only death seems so clear

In the hospice lockdown

Familiar faces not allowed

Like brothers, or sons

Who wanted to know you

And tell you once more that they love you

In your last few days

And I will sing your last lullaby

Fighting tears to say all of my best goodbyes

And I will sing your lullaby

Fighting tears to say all of my best goodbyes
