Far From The Harbour Wall Lyrics - Broken China - Richard Wright

A part of herself, she thought love was dying, 

The game of opposites, a hateful lie. 

She can't hang on at all, she's giving up the fight. 

She's locked in a wall of ice, 

Through half the day and half the night 

On a path that's been prescribed. 

Nothing comes, but she can't leave her life 

Or hear the falling rain, or the heart race in her. 

And dark as it grows at night, with fear of light's change 

She's drowning away 

In what she can do and what she contains 

And her heart it so low. 

Now, because I could not cope with the pain, 

How things are not the same, she's got no remedies. 

A heartbreaking fall and I fear a change of course 

I feel like we were born insane, 

I hear the love, I fear the love 

For the heart is low, see how it grows apart. 

And deep from the other side, we live so plain 

We have no night, we have no day, we have no falling rain. 

Not love in our eyes, not love in our stare 

Felt more like inner sea, had no quality 

So says those who drown at night 

Far from the harbour wall, far from the harbour wall.
