It was raining on Valentine's Day
when you'd almost given up
Mother slept it off for a while
and my brother and I got drunk
While you were tied in electric chains
I was passed out on the floor
for three long nights
no one came to your hospital door
Time moves slowly here in Avalon
We live only for a little while
We must love while we can
And carry the weight on our backs
Room 232 I set my bag down on the floor
You were there with your eyes on the TV
the TV was turned off
I think it was a surprise to see me
as I fell into the chair
You said you thought that you were forsaken
Well, not while I'm still here
