lyrics
Did I sleep?
Do I dream of cold, silent water
So deep and dark
And the wires are singing our song?
Our song
As we lay back and stared into cloudless skies
And the stars up there
The wires are singing our song
The wires are singing our song
Your face, now so plain, once was so lovely
A beautiful refrain, duet with stars
But your smile now in disguise became a flat line
And to never love again like you did before, was all
Why go on with it, why go on with it?
Why, to let it go, like water on snow?
I know what you want, what you are thinking
To drift beyond the pain and out of reach
To sit, be safe and warm inside your sorrow
And listen to the slow, slow morse tapping of the rain, as it says:
Why go on with it? Why go on with it?
Why to let it go like water on snow?
Why go on with it? Why go on with it?
Why to let it go like water on snow?
Do I dream of cold, silent water
So deep and dark
And the wires are singing our song?
Our song
As we lay back and stared into cloudless skies
And the stars up there
The wires are singing our song
The wires are singing our song
Your face, now so plain, once was so lovely
A beautiful refrain, duet with stars
But your smile now in disguise became a flat line
And to never love again like you did before, was all
Why go on with it, why go on with it?
Why, to let it go, like water on snow?
I know what you want, what you are thinking
To drift beyond the pain and out of reach
To sit, be safe and warm inside your sorrow
And listen to the slow, slow morse tapping of the rain, as it says:
Why go on with it? Why go on with it?
Why to let it go like water on snow?
Why go on with it? Why go on with it?
Why to let it go like water on snow?
