Richard Wright - Drowning Lyrics
A part of herself, she thought love was dying,The game of opposites, a hateful lie.She cant hang on at all, shes giving up the fight.Shes locked in a wall of ice,Through half the day and half the nightOn a path thats been prescribed.Nothing comes, but she cant leave her lifeOr hear the falling rain, or the heart race in her.And dark as it grows at night, with fear of lights changeShes drowning awayIn what she can do and what she containsAnd her heart it so low.Now, because I could not cope with the pain,How things are not the same, shes got no remedies.A heartbreaking fall and I fear a change of courceI feel like we were born insane,I hear the love, I fear the loveFor the heart is low, see how it grows apart.And deep from the other side, we live so plainWe have no night, we have no day, we have no falling rain.Not love in our eyes, not love in our stareFelt more like inner sea, had no qualitySo says those who drown at nightFar from the harbour wall, far from the harbour wall.
