Even Her Love

I wondered why she looked so lonely

And I wondered why he was not by her side

After a while I chanced to ask her

He's feeling so bad she said I don't know why

They took him off last week to the hospital

He was a danger to himself they said

Something went wrong so deep inside his him

Now I'm like a stranger standing by his bed

Still she wonders where he goes

wonders why and how

But even her love can't reach him

Even her love can't reach him

Even her love can't reach him

The way he's feeling now

What could it be that takes him so far away

So far inside himself where he can hide

I watched him fight this as it dragged him down

Into a place so dark and cold she cried

She looked so tired and strained as she spoked to me

I looked for words to say to ease her pain

Still we both knew he'd come through this once before

And we just hoped he'd do the same again.
