Cure The The Drowning Man Lyrics

The Drowning Man Lyrics

She stands twelve feet above the flood

 She stands twelve feet above the flood

 She stares

 She stares

 Alone

 Alone

 Across the water

 Across the water

 

 The loneliness grows and slowly

 The loneliness grows and slowly

 Fills her frozen body

 Fills her frozen body

 Sliding downwards

 Sliding downwards

 

 

 One by one her senses die

 One by one her senses die

 The memories fade

 The memories fade

 And leave her eyes

 And leave her eyes

 Still seeing worlds that never were

 Still seeing worlds that never were

 And one by one the bright birds leave her ...

 And one by one the bright birds leave her ...

 

 

 Starting at the violent sound

 Starting at the violent sound

 She tries to turn

 She tries to turn

 But final

 But final

 Noiseless

 Noiseless

 Slips and strikes her soft dark head

 Slips and strikes her soft dark head

 The water bows

 The water bows

 Receives her

 Receives her

 And drowns her at its ease

 And drowns her at its ease

 Drowns her at its ease

 Drowns her at its ease

 

 

 I would have left the world all bleeding

 I would have left the world all bleeding

 Could i only help you love

 Could I only help you love

 The fleeting shapes

 The fleeting shapes

 So many years ago

 So many years ago

 So young and beautiful and brave

 So young and beautiful and brave

 

 

 Everything was true

 Everything was true

 It couldn't be a story

 It couldn't be a story

 

 

 I wish it was all true

 I wish it was all true

 I wish it couldn't be a story

 I wish it couldn't be a story

 The words all left me

 The words all left me

 Lifeless

 Lifeless

 Hoping

 Hoping

 Breathing like the drowning man

 Breathing like the drowning man

 

 

 Oh fushia

 Oh Fushia

 You leave me

 You leave me

 Breathing like the drowning man

 Breathing like the drowning man

 Breathing like the drowning man

 Breathing like the drowning man
