歌詞
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn, but final, noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft-dark head
The water bows, receives her
Drowns her at its ease
And drowns her at its ease
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Everything was true, it couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true, I wish it couldn't be a story
[Verse 5]
The words all left me lifeless, hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
[Verse 6]
Oh, Fuchsia!
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
[Verse 7]
Dreaming like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man
(Breathing like the drowning man)
(Dreaming like the drowning man)
