The card is in her hands
those trembling
trembling hands

She wants to see
her partner
her would be life (had it been legal)
the love of her life
but they won't let her in

The card is in her hands
those trembling
trembling hands

She just got off the phone
and they said no
they won't cover her
because they're not married

when they finally let her in
the trembling hands
take the cold still ones
and squeeze

but the cold hands don't squeeze back
and the trembling hands shake harder
