She rides her bike down country lanes.
The sun shines down upon her pain,
Clouds go sailing in the sky,
Under the bridge, a train goes by,
She thinks 'bout ending it all there and then,
But something makes her think again,
Of all the summer days gone by,
And of these things that make her cry.
And she is falling, falling,
Tumbling through her days,
Her life at an end,
Wasting away,
Her powers of reason in desertion,
Cast adrift in some great ocean.
So with the sun behind her back,
She looks down, far along the tracks,
Her shadow falling from the sky,
And her empty hopes they fill her eyes,
Her lips garnished with the salty taste,
Of all the tears upon her face,
Her heart wishing he was there again,
His arms and smile to stop the pain.
And she is falling, falling,
Tumbling through her days,
Her life at an end,
Wasting away,
All powers of reason in desertion,
Adrift and tossed on some great ocean.
