No one's loved with more affection 
   Soul to soul we've breathed 
   Oh, I won't let The Fates succeed 
  
   Worried hours of contemplation 
   Whispered bits of conversation 
   Unaffected orderlies 
   Disinfected rooms and hallways 
  
   And if you sleep, you sleep with God 
   And if I cry, it's for my heart 
   Why should I hope to make it through? 
   'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep, too 
  
   Jagged thorns and pretty petals 
   Butterflies and stinging nettles 
   Sunny days and nights of blackness 
   But where's the joy to cure my sadness? 
  
   (Chorus) 
  
   Gleaming cars and covered faces 
   Teary eyes in hallowed places 
   Grass and granite stone 
   No one's been more all alone 
  
   (Chorus
