The candle flickers and the shadows move distorted on the wall There's a wire slowly stretching And now you ask him all the questions, the same ones as before But you know that he is lying And with your arms around him now, you're begging please But he moves towards the open door And you find you're screaming 'no' But something breaks this time, you find you cannot move Is it wrong to let him walk into the water? Close your eyes for just one moment You get so tired the endless days of watching over And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet him To turn away - he disappears into the tide All your love it cannot save him All your love it cannot save him And everybody holds a secret that draws them with its breath The one that will destroy them Oh, the warming glow of poison - it's so easy going down Just to spite the days of reason Oh, my abandoned child, we'll both end up as fools I can see it in your craving eyes that I cannot hold you All the warning shots will be lost and drowned In the roar of the crashing waves And is it wrong to let you walk into the water? Close my eyes for just one moment I get so tired the endless days of watching over And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet you To turn away - you disappears into the tide All my love it cannot save you All my love it cannot save you
