Lyrics
Sinking
Caught up in a whirling motion
Such a strange sensation
The currents uncertain
Like sails of a mill, I spin
Like wheels, I move in a circle
While you stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline, save me
Intimacy and affection frozen
In this game of chance, I forfeit
Full hand of love with no counters
Like a moth with no flame to persuade me
Like blood in the rain running thin
While you stand on the inside looking in
Save me
Inside, looking in
Complete in yourself
Throw me a lifeline, save me
Intimacy and affection frozen
In this game of chance, I forfeit
A full hand of love with no counters
Like a moth with no flame to persuade me
Like blood in the rain running thin
While you stand on the inside looking in
Save me
Inside looking in
Complete in yourself
Throw me a lifeline, save me
You stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline, save me
You stand on the bank
Immune or evasive
Throw me a lifeline, save me
Save me
