White as a ghost to the world, some unkind eyes, please say hello once and a while Birthday cards and christmas wishes turn into sympathy letters We've read it all before, they're on the walls past the hospital curtains Taking pills to dream, it's not very nice at all, but if you can't get away you won't be able to cope Close your eyes and think about the better weather The sand beneath your feet Listen to the north sea sleep tonight Waking up is hard to see everything falling apart It's just apart of life he says To accept what is to become is to know you have to say goodbye
