Late at night
When the wine
It has finally taken me
I hear her voice
Singing soft
And a little bit off-key
Singing a child’s song
You know the one
About a bird in a nest on a limb
In a tree

So don’t tell me that she’s gone
Don’t tell me to be strong
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?
Don’ tell me that’s she gone
Don’t tell me to move on
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?
She’s coming back
To me

Close my eyes
I can see
Standing right in front of me
I see a light
Shimmers bright
She appears so gracefully
Like a gypsy
In ruby beads
Ribbons, silk and gold
Flying free

So don’t tell me that she’s gone
Don’t tell me to be strong
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?
Don’t tell me that she’s gone
Don’t tell me to move on
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?
She’s coming back
To me

Friends at work
Children play
They think it’s just another day
But I am lost
In the dark
In a shadow world of pain
Waking up alive
Forced to decide
To get up, get in, to hang on
For the ride

So don’t tell me that she’s gone
Don’t tell me to be strong
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?
Don’ tell me that she’s gone
Don’t tell me to move on
Can’t you see?
Oh, can’t you see?
She’s coming back
To me
