I sit here, in my high backed chair And watch the world go by Although my world is one small room A room in which I'll die

Sometimes some people visit me They say they're family But I never married or had children I don't know who they be

But they insist, they often come They seem to know my name It hurts that they could be so cruel As though love were a game

They often cry when they leave me Although I don't know why They ask me for my memories Of times that have gone by

And so I sometimes humour them Just to see their smile Knowing that they'll come again In just a little while

And so I sit here in my chair Alone, but I don't cry And as I wait, for the nurse I watch the world go by.
