The Drowning Man Lyrics - Faith - The Cure

She stands twelve feet above the flood 

She stares alone across the water 

The loneliness grows and slowly 

Fills her frozen body sliding downwards 

One by one her senses die 

The memories fade and leave her eyes 

Still seeing worlds that never were 

And one by one the bright birds leave her 

Starting at the violent sound 

She tries to turn but final noiseless 

Slips and strikes her soft dark head 

The water bows receives her 

And drowns her at it's ease 

Drowns her at it's ease

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

I would have left the world all bleeding 

Could I only help you love? 

The fleeting shapes so many years ago 

So young and beautiful and brave 

Everything was true 

It couldn't be a story 

I wish it was all true 

I wish it couldn't be a story 

The words all left me lifeless hoping 

Breathing like the drowning man 

Oh fuchsia, you leave me 

Breathing like the drowning man 

Dreaming like the drowning man 

Breathing like the drowning 

Dreaming like the drowning man 

Dreaming like the drowning man
