The Drowning Man
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares alone across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly fills
her frozen body sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade and leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds
leave her
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes so many years ago
So young and beautiful and everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it wasn't true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me lifeless, hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia,
you leave me breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning
man
She stares alone across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly fills
her frozen body sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade and leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds
leave her
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes so many years ago
So young and beautiful and everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it wasn't true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me lifeless, hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia,
you leave me breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning
man
