Calling Mister Wilson

Calling mister Wilson,
there's a visitor for you,
report to mister Robinson
in room one thirty two.
It seems there's been an incident,
please come and see the boss.
The staff and upper management
are sorry for your loss.

That's what the office told me.
That's what the office said.
I had a son on Sunday
now he's as good as dead.
How can I tell Samantha
and spoil her holiday.
I'll make the call this evening
but I don't know what to say.

I'm sorry mister Wilson,
there's no easy way to say
that your son was in an accident
while on the carriage way.
A girl was riding with him
when they impacted a car
they've taken them to hospital
and that is where they are.

That's what the policeman told me.
That's what the policeman said.
I had a son on Sunday
now he's as good as dead.
And what about his girlfriend.
I saw her father cry.
Will we attend the funeral
and feel guilt our son survived.

(solo)

I'm sorry mister Wilson
but the news is very bleak.
The girl has lost the battle
and your son is very weak.
He had a haematoma
on the left side of the brain
and now he's in a coma
and might never wake again.

That's what the doctor told me.
That's what the doctor said.
I had a son on Sunday
now he's as good as dead.
And now there's only waiting,
and only sleepless nights
but more than grief and hating,
I have thanks that he's alive.
