THE CURE lyrics : "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 brave


Everything was true
It couldn't be a story


I wish it was all 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
