(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
|
|
Heading for the great escape
|
Heading for the rave
|
Heading for the permanent holiday
|
|
Heading for the winter trip
|
Heading for the slide
|
Heading for the dignified walk away
|
|
Heading for the open road
|
Goodbye to all that
|
Heading for the automatic overload
|
|
Standing in the open boat
|
Standing in the swing
|
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
|
|
Waiting to be recognised
|
Quiet applause will do
|
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
|
|
You're holding on, you're holding on ...
|
|
(i) the last of you
|
|
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
|
You come here scratchin' at my door
|
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
|
Of every corridor I walk
|
|
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
|
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
|
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
|
Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?
|
|
(ii) fallin' from the moon
|
|
Don't ask me why I'm doing this
|
You wouldn't understand
|
You're asking the wrong questions
|
You couldn't understand
|
|
A bridge is not a high place
|
The fifty-second floor
|
Icarus would know
|
A mountain isn't far to fall
|
|
When you've fallen from the moon
|
|
There's murder on the street
|
I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
|
|
I have fallen, fallen from the moon
|
