I don't have long left on this earth to write I tried my worst but I must soon give up this fight I'll close my eyes and turn my thoughts to the light God didn't grant a happy ending You look on me with smiling eyes You try and help me to rise above this Sense of certainty my liberty's been taken from me And I'm headed for my longest night God didn't grant a happy ending At least this ward is warm and quiet and clean and bright And all the doctors dress in robes of pearly white Just like the gates of saints, where angels they take flight But, God didn't grant a happy ending I wish to live with all my might Hold the string of my favourite kite Instead I'll lie here as my chest grows ever tight God didn't grant a happy ending No, God didn't grant a happy ending
