She stands twelve feet above the flood

She stands twelve feet above the flood

She stares

She stares

Alone

Alone

Across the water

Across the water



The loneliness grows and slowly

The loneliness grows and slowly

Fills her frozen body

Fills her frozen body

Sliding downwards

Sliding downwards





One by one her senses die

One by one her senses die

The memories fade

The memories fade

And leave her eyes

And leave her eyes

Still seeing worlds that never were

Still seeing worlds that never were

And one by one the bright birds leave her ...

And one by one the bright birds leave her ...





Starting at the violent sound

Starting at the violent sound

She tries to turn

She tries to turn

But final

But final

Noiseless

Noiseless

Slips and strikes her soft dark head

Slips and strikes her soft dark head

The water bows

The water bows

Receives her

Receives her

And drowns her at its ease

And drowns her at its ease

Drowns her at its ease

Drowns her at its ease





I would have left the world all bleeding

I would have left the world all bleeding

Could i only help you love

Could I only help you love

The fleeting shapes

The fleeting shapes

So many years ago

So many years ago

So young and beautiful and brave

So young and beautiful and brave





Everything was true

Everything was true

It couldn't be a story

It couldn't be a story





I wish it was all true

I wish it was all true

I wish it couldn't be a story

I wish it couldn't be a story

The words all left me

The words all left me

Lifeless

Lifeless

Hoping

Hoping

Breathing like the drowning man

Breathing like the drowning man





Oh fushia

Oh Fushia

You leave me

You leave me

Breathing like the drowning man

Breathing like the drowning man

Breathing like the drowning man

Breathing like the drowning man
