Lyric Fireworks

These fires never die
They told me this would help
I m walking by the water

I m falling with the tide
They said that this would end
I went as far as I could

I m on distant ground now
Fishing-boats go by
I fall asleep too early

I scream when no one hears me
The waves will wipe it out
And we ll be even

I turn my face to
From wherever the wind blows
Is it worth so much to try?

I m at the airport waiting
For lights to fade below
And then: something else

All instant things are fading
The pain will go
I won t remember

And if the lights went out
If the elevator stopped
If we were lost where I was

Or in the deepest tunnel
The train just stopped
But you gave me no chance

I turn my face to
from wherever the wind blows
Is it worth so much to try?
