I'll count the clock for you dad

Count every second on the clock,
Because it's so like life to try and cheat us out of a few.
But I'd give all my sixties for another ten with you.

It was a light I knew would flicker out.
I just didn't expect it to be so soon,
With you lying breathless in the dining room.

Every tube told me you were courageous.
Every wire sang your praises,
I didn't need the doctors to tell me you were the very bravest.

I'm never going to speak to you now.
Words spill but you're not here.
Words that you will never hear.

There is a path only you can walk.
Hear me scream your name.
I don't want to play this game.

No, I don't want to play anymore.
I bruise too easily.
