The hospital and a long night
A phone call and fate conspired
A signal nothings ever fine
When the clock shows
Eights blink in time
As the clock goes by
And I've seen these things break
Like I saw how you broke
Makes me lie here awake
To see you lie there alone
The snow falls, banks pile higher
And the plows form some gravel choir
The bell tolls, another shift retires
From your bedside
Swear I catch a smile
When I look at your face
I see the last time we spoke
I wish nothing had changed
I wish you could come home
You said I know
Said its alright
I'm right here
Will you stay a while
With eyes closed
Our hands entwined
As your heart slows
Eights blink in time
