She laid her thoughts out
on the table
With sorrow difficult and bright
She had decided to sever her ties
As the horizon burned, she turned
The wind combed
through her hair like high notes
Tinkling furrows across the sky
There would be
tears, flowers, long shadows
She could see it now
they would dive
Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
Away, away, away you go
Before they pull you in
She held herself up
at the high point
A joining of decision and dismay
And clay was forming over her feet
As the horizon blurred
She turned and she knew
Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
Away, away, you let it go
Before it pulls you in
Cold into the current
there she goes
Cold into the current,
there she goes
Cold into the current
there she goes
Cold into the current
there she goes
The way it is, the way it goes,
The way it gets you down, you know
The way it is, the way it goes
The way it gets you down
Away, away, away you go
Before they push you under
you know
Away, away, away you go
Before it pulls you in
Away, away, you let it go
Before they put posh
under the ground
Away, away, you let it go
Before it pulls you in
