I hear the song - they come from nowhere As I stare up at the ceiling Where there once was a connection There is an absence of any feeling The words to me mean nothing now Nor will they ever again They speak of losing someone as if it's final As I drift closer to the end There are no songs For the man of infirmity Well the arrow through the heart And the needle through the vein Can't be bothered with any heartache It's got nothing on this pain Now I don't want some extravagant production No nostalgia at my age All I want is someone who knows my shame Who can play me off the stage There are no songs For the man of infirmity
