The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing

Through the hospital wall and away

And I wanted to hold you

As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
When your eyes were alive and awake


Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone

And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away


I wanted to know you
Before you started to fade

But I gave everything to
A lie and a farce and a fake
