These fires never die

They told me this would help

I'm walking by the water

I'm falling with the tide

They said that this would end

I went as far as I could

I'm on distant ground now

Fishing-boats go by

I fall asleep too early

I scream when no one hears me

The waves will wipe it out

And we'll be even

I turn my face to

From wherever the wind blows

Is it worth so much to try?

I'm at the airport waiting

For lights to fade below

And then: something else

All instant things are fading

The pain will go

I won't remember

And if the lights went out

If the elevator stopped

If we were lost where I was

Or in the deepest tunnel

The train just stopped

But you gave me no chance

I turn my face to

from wherever the wind blows

Is it worth so much to try?
