There are things I want to say
But you’re asleep all through the day
I read the card the neighbour sent to you
But you’re only getting worse
Got a message from the nurse
Their point of view was to take away the pain
And I realised then

And we heard on your admission day
They doubt that they can find a way
To get you back to Apollo Bay again
So we hold our breath another year
I know these things are never clear
There’s no one who would volunteer for this

You lay there on your side
And you could hardly lift your eyes
We listened to your breathing for a while
Then they told us we should go
They were changing all your clothes
We took our bikes and rode along the stream
And I realised then

And we heard on your admission day
They doubt that they can find a way
To get you back to Apollo Bay again
So we hold our breath another year
I know these things are never clear
There’s no one who would volunteer for this

And we heard on your admission day
They doubt that they can find a way
To get you back to Apollo Bay again
So we hold our breath another year
I know these things are never clear
There’s no one who would volunteer for this, for this, for this
