Album: And She Closed Her Eyes

Fireworks

These fires never die
They told me this would help
I'm walking by the water

I'm falling with the tide
They said that this would end
I went as far as I could

I'm on distant ground now
Fishing-boats go by
I fall asleep too early

I scream when no one hears me
The waves will wipe it out
And we'll be even

I turn my face to
From wherever the wind blows
Is it worth so much to try?I'm at the airport waiting
For lights to fade below
And then: something else

All instant things are fading
The pain will go
I won't remember

And if the lights went out
If the elevator stopped
If we were lost where I was

Or in the deepest tunnel
The train just stopped
But you gave me no chance

I turn my face to
from wherever the wind blows
Is it worth so much to try?
