Those words he spoke Were his last Not for now Forever It is my unfortunate privilege To be the first to hear Given to me before time The time being Once he is dead His hands have failed So he shares me his tongue Whilst it hangs on We should never have met But now I am his accessory So he gives me honesty Breaks me his fears Confesses his feelings Not for me I am just a stranger A stranger he needs So to give his family His last chance of love
