Unbreakable Spirit

[Verse 1] Old man, the only reason that I spoke Was that just before you fully woke You wore a sweet small smile upon your face With such a kind of gentle happy grace [Verse 2] And swiftly as you opened up an eye I saw that little smile crack and dry To me your waking self seemed so dejected Perhaps because that was what I expected [Chorus] And saddened by your sorry state I scrambled for the nearest joy I could create Stupidly perhaps I made some silly joke Too soon I think, since you had barely woke [Verse 3] And so my final memory of you Is of your giving me the thing you thought my due No smile or laugh did I retrieve Instead a loud and unpoetic word or two [Outro] Instead a loud and unpoetic word or two [Fade to end]
