Acclimated Assa**in - Nobody Wants To Be Alone lyrics

[Verse One] There was a couple married for 59 years To celebrate their 60th They decided that they would disappear Take a cruise… escape on a boat They'd lay around with one another on vacation and float Just holding hands poolside reflecting on the best days There'd be no better way to celebrate six decades It was settled. It's what they would do The cruise was booked They were looking forward to it they knew It would be magical. Fantastical Living like the gla** was full. 
Their love was natural Effortlessly compatible But a gradual decline had been noticed in the woman's health 
She couldn't do some things herself But her husband always helped And that's what love is, compromise and compa**ion I wish it didn't but the story takes a sad spin All their calculating when awry When two weeks before the cruise ship departed? Mrs. Margaret died [Chorus] Say it isn't so Why'd she have to go If there's one thing I know It's nobody wants to be alone [Second Verse] So there he is, saying his goodbyes Droppin' sunflowers in the casket he cries Their son was wise. Gave the father space But in a thoughtful gesture offered to take the place Of his mother Margaret on the cruise Since both of their hearts were bruised But of course the battle hardened former sergeant refused Told his son I'm sorry but I have to go alone Then made the innocent excuse Who'd feed the dogs if no ones home? Hmmm... 
The son understood At least to a degree and supported the best he could That's how the old man was. Survived Okinawa. Tough as nails. 
Brought up rough, saw a lot of stuff but love prevails She made him a better man with her gentle radiant warmness 
She was the score of gorgeous orchids To his warped and tortured fortress He knew their energy would be formless In another world someday When he boarded at the port Monday morning and sailed away [Chorus] Say it isn't so Why'd she have to go If there's one thing I know It's nobody wants to be alone [Final Verse] On the boat: He'd listen to his music and bathe in the sun Play the penny machines and eat at tables for one His exquisite suite featured a king sized bed But each night, felt the stillness of no queen beside his head He had conversations with others But in a way felt disconnected His thoughts were elsewhere And the sense of loss was wretched Like an impending doom, the 26th was coming soon The night of their anniversary, and the eclipsing moon Did it have to be so symbolic? He concluded that he would watch it Even wore his nicest suit and washed his face by the faucet 
Wrote his wife a poem and neatly lodged it into his pocket He was going to read it to the moon And take bites off their favorite chocolate But when Bob was on deck he lost it His emotions were exhausted He always thought of Margaret And longed for a connection that wasn't so cosmic Pondered what it costed Then climbed up to the top of the guardrail and leapt off it [splash]
