I watch you from afar these days,
I can not alleviate,
Suffering it seems to stain,
I’m falling, falling down again.
And somewhere in the dark abyss,
I feel her close and start to kiss,
Death’s sweet dreaming ruby lips,
I’m falling, falling down again.
What world exists outside this cave,
My thoughts escape and runaway,
Poetry and stars and waves,
I’m falling, falling down again.
My heart is beating with a pain,
The fire dwindles in the rain,
And when a saviour finally came,
They took his soul nail by nail.
And somewhere in the dark abyss,
I feel her close and start to kiss,
Death’s sweet dreaming ruby lips,
I’m falling, falling down again.
I watch you from afar these days,
I can not alleviate,
Suffering it seems to stain,
I’m falling, falling down again.
F.C.
