|
She went out |
|
And foundHer father face down on the ground |
|
Out in the cold |
|
Walked her way 'round |
|
A hill where the sun's sinking down |
|
Into the snow |
|
Oh, white caps of the waves slap |
|
Like last hand claps |
|
And the dark |
|
Water dies in the crash[And] is sucked back with a moan |
|
Smoke on the coast |
|
And old, piled fathers |
|
Soft-sighing daughters |
|
Where does it go |
|
It's a dream now |
|
I'll describe |
|
Let your mind drift on down |
|
Like soTo when the world was young |
|
Big skyBlue with a dead |
|
Bachelor's tongue |
|
Blood-red bloom on the rose |
|
So, some line someone told |
|
Says, "Even light can get old" |
|
Oh, slobbering lovers |
|
Drink-clinking brothers |
|
They don't have to tell us' |
|
Cause we know |
|
So, I said"What a way downWhat a rideWhat a slideSpin aroundWhat a life to have knownWhat a time" |
|
And howI was singing out in a crowd |
|
Of a thousand of the most frightening faces |
|
I've known |
|
When the lighthouse |
|
Lending a sight, finally went out |
|
What a fright we felt in that night |
|
Friends, just shout it all out |
|
All the 'why's and 'no-no's |
|
All the cries in your throat |
|
How rightWe felt |
|
With our hands tightly closed |
|
Around something we broke |
|
And then our whimpering sisters |
|
Sobbing well-wishers |
|
Well, it's over |
|
Just let my hand go |
