Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again |
Out where the stones lay like bones by the ocean |
Out where the waves crash contempt on the land |
Someone was trembling for fear of the tempest |
Somebody silently reached for their hand |
Said, understand that if you’re cold I’ll keep you warm |
And besides, there’s so much beauty in a storm |
So come down with me to the shore |
And what’s more, I adore you |
So tell me, what is there to fear? |
You think some seraph up above |
Is trying to rob us of our love |
Because the sky’s not clear? |
My dear, you know there’s not |
Now listen to the rain upon the rooftop |
But the wind picked up |
Out where the stones stand up like thrones beside the ocean |
Out where the waves make a grave of the sea |
The lovers struggled in the middle of the tempest |
And water angrily crawled up onto the beach |
Said, hold my hand and stay with me — we’ll be released |
But the tide clung like an anchor to her feet |
And though he tried to make the water line recede |
It pulled her out into the sea |
He could not break apart the waves to bring her safely back in |
He watched her hand break through the surface once then disappear again |
Forever wait inside the sea for me, my dear, I hear you |
You speak in every curling wave and sing in every violent breeze |
Someday not far away from here, my dear, I swear I’ll see you |
And we will hear the seraphs cry |
They will still envy you and I |
How they envied you and I |
