But the more I resist
There ain't much now I can pull
No stuntman surprises or Houdini that disguises
Get swept out in the riptide
Where her love once flowed
From that one with the long black cape
Swallowed up home
The further and further I drift
Long and long and longer it takes
Is worth any sum or length of time
And there's only one way back
Avoid the tap on the shoulder
For death defying escape
She lets go of my hand
Into the ground where the bad seeds are sown
Just to see those eyes of her shine
And I'm falling to a sea of tears
Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers
And take route and pull me further in
Lost sometime ago
To lie 'neath the waves of sorrow and tears
Now I'm stranded on the mountain's edge
Sink to the bottom and linger there the rest of my years
Down and down I go
Good luck's gone and there's no more brakes
Walk among the mild sea bones
That would fill that space
Just the ground beneath that shakes and gives way
Where my heart in me wants
And search for the trail that we both riding
