A smile, a word and a wave
The nurse is coming again
A flannel 'round my face for visitors day
What a strange way to behave

With all that time in the ward
With all the time in the world
My family talk to me of things that we did
And treat me like an invalid

Where are the things that we cared about?
What were the dreams that we shared about?
Where are the friends that we knew?
It's like nothing else will be the same again

Hard on the heels of a heart attack
What are the reasons for coming back?
What is the point of it all?
It's like nothing else will be the same again

Shame, it's raining again
My face reflects on the pane
A white light showed to me that God would be there
Now I only feel despair

With all concern for my wife
A full and purposeful life
Years and years are stretching out before me
But I just don't want to be

Where are the things that we cared about?
What were the dreams that we shared about?
Where are the friends that we knew?
It's like nothing else will be the same again

Hard on the heels of a heart attack
What are the reasons for coming back?
What is the point of it all?
It's like nothing else will be the same again

Shame
