I knew you were slipping away by the day
What did I do? I did nothing
The tone of your sky was a gunmetal grey
And what did I do? I did nothing
That iceberg of indifference must have meant something
but I wore a coat of steel so it meant nothing

We saw the floods in Pakistan
And smelt the burning forest
We had to fail Afghanistan
And the richest crushed the poorest 

We saw the glaciers hit the water
And jumped in for a swim
The water felt so good and warm
We all went rushing in
A pandemic of stupidity
Was closing in and then
What did I do I looked at you
But you were gone by then

The filaments of light in the bulbs of your eyes
Died a death for me, but I did nothing
The streets of your town pulled their shutters right down
I wanted them pulled up but I did nothing
Nothing
Nothing
