Her eyes are closed now that
That final breath is near
She lets go of my hand and I
fall intoAnd I'm falling to a see sea of tears
Search
And search for the trail that we were both riding
Lost sometime ago
Now I'm stranded on the mountain's edge
And there's only one way back down...
And
Down and down I go
Into the ground where the bad seeds are sown
Take rootAnd take route and pull me further inenter added
Long and long and longer it takes
Good luck's gone and there's no more breaks brakes
Just the ground beneath that shakes and gives wayenter added
Swallowed up whole, there home
Thereain't much now I can pull
No stunt man stuntman surprises
Or houdini-like or Houdini that disguises
For death defying escapeenter added
Avoid the tap on the shoulder
From that one in with the long black capeenter added
Just to see those eyes of hers her shine
Is worth any sum or length of time
That would fill up that space
Where her love once flowedenter added
But the more I resist
The further and further out I drift
Get swept out in the rip tide riptide
Where part of my heart in me wants to
To lieenter deleted
'neath the waves of sorrow and tearsenter added
Sink to the bottom and linger there
The the rest of my tears years
Walk amongst among the mossy mild sea bones
Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
Feel their blood flow away flowing, they send the soul its way
