[01:03.75] She stands twelve feet above the flood
[01:06.92] She stares alone across the water
[01:11.27] The loneliness grows and slowly
[01:13.33] Fills her frozen body sliding downwards
[01:18.30] One by one her senses die
[01:21.43] The memories fade and leave her eyes
[01:24.92] Still seeing worlds that never were
[01:28.58] And one by one the bright birds leave her
[02:00.10] Starting at the violent sound
[02:04.11] She tries to turn but final noiseless
[02:08.42] Slips and strikes her soft dark head
[02:11.62] The water bows receives her
[02:15.42] And drowns her at it's ease
[02:22.70] Drowns her at it's ease
[02:58.99] I would have left the world all bleeding
[03:02.66] Could I only help you love?
[03:06.47] The fleeting shapes so many years ago
[03:09.65] So young and beautiful and brave
[03:13.71] Everything was true
[03:16.08] It couldn't be a story
[03:20.72] I wish it was all true
[03:23.32] I wish it couldn't be a story
[03:27.74] The words all left me lifeless hoping
[03:31.45] Breathing like the drowning man
[03:34.81] Oh fuchsia, you leave me
[03:38.85] Breathing like the drowning man
[03:46.39] Dreaming like the drowning man
[03:53.33] Breathing like the drowning
[04:08.06] Dreaming like the drowning man
[04:18.95] Dreaming like the drowning man
[04:30.30]
