Why do you look out the window?
What is it catches your eye?
Why are you closing the curtains?
Why do you shut out the sky?

Why are you calling my name dear?
Where is the nurse with my tea?
Why have you silenced the music?
Why do you stare so at me?

Why are you closing your eyes dear?
Who is this stranger in black?
Why are you leaving me, dearest?
Dearest, come back— come back!
