Echoes

Finally found a place to lay my head

Looks so good from down here on this hospital bed

I'll be the one to be undone

I'll go where the sun isn't shining

Once I was young

Those days are long gone

Suddenly I'm thirty-three

And on a gurney

Apologies and obligations

All the myriad sensations compounding

Echoes in my brain

Echoed in refrain

Always a replay

Like a Grecian tragedy

Oh where the time goes

Who really knows

You said, 'Get a doctor my wife's going under'

She's off where the sun isn't shining

I thought I would argue

Or cleverly bargain

It looks like I won't be going down stoically

Oh to love you and be loved

To have the final memory of you compounding

Echoes in my brain

Echoed in refrain

Echoes all the same way, away

Oh where the time goes

Who really knows

Oh where the time goes

Who really knows
