She Lingers On

She lingers on and on
 in my mind
A love long since gone 
From here

She lingers on and on
In a bed of white
Hooked to bings 
And beeps

She lingers on and on
And She lost her will
She doesn’t hear me
Anymore

She lingers on and on
I wish I could tell her
I love her
But she isn’t there

She lingers on and on
Machines make her talk now
Bings and beeps
A symphony of anguish

She lingers on and on
She cant say she doesn’t 
Want to be here
Or that she doesn’t have the will

She lingers on and on
