Her eyes are closed now

That final breath is near

She lets go of my hand

And I'm falling to

A sea of tears



I serach for the trail

That we were both riding

Lost sometime ago



Now I'm stranded on the mountain's edge

And there's only one way back



Down and down I go

Into the ground where the bad seeds are sown

Take route and pull me further in



Long and long and longer it takes

Gool luck's gone and there's no more bracke

Just the ground beneath

That shakes and gives way



Swallowed up home

There ain't much now I can pull

No stuntman suprises

Or Houdini that disgueses

For death defying escape



Avoid the tap on the shoulder

From that one with the long black cape



Just to see those eyes of her shine

Is worth any sum or length of time

That would fill that space where her love

Once flowed



But the more I resist

The further and further I drift

Get swept out in the riptide



My heart in me wants

To lie 'neath the waves of sorrow and tears

Sink to the bottom and linger there

The rest of my years



Walk among the mild sea (?) bones

Of my fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers

Feel their blood flowing, they

Send the soul it's way
