I watched you fall
Out from the sky
In the black of night
You were a brush stroke of white light
And down you fell
Landed in my arms
With your perfect eyes
You were pure, you were true, you were strong
And I felt love for the first time like rushing waters run
I felt your hands interlocked with mine
I'm looking at my hands
And I look back at yours
Why are mine so stained, and burned, and blistered, and torn
You see that was then
And this is now
Since the days of the fall
I have learned to shrink back, I've learned to howl
But I need you, under water, your the air that fills my lungs
You were my queen, could you still be
So sleep well darling, and don't dream of me tonight
Maybe when morning comes you'll walk among the sunlight and the trees
They'll take you far from me.
I'm scared, I'm scared, I've lost all sense of direction
The 76 bows and bends, my eyes are still closed
My hands are getting tired, the wheel slips away
This is it, this is it, que sera, sera
