Dear son, we've been waiting for you
Thrilled beside ourselves that you've arrived
White coats came in, heads held low
Talked for a bit, shuffled outside
We closed the curtains
Held each other
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye
And smallest wingless, oh you came to us
Leaving as soon as you'd arrived
But sadness is just love wasted
With no heart to place it inside
We closed the curtains
Held each other
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye
We closed the curtains
Held on to one another
And cried
We said hello at the same time that we said goodbye
