I have such envy
|
For the stranger lying next to me
|
Who awakes in the night
|
And slips out into the pre-dawn light
|
With no words
|
A clean escape
|
No promises or messes made
|
And chalks it all up
|
To mistake, mistake, mistake
|
|
And there are no tears
|
Just pity and fear
|
And a vast ravine
|
Right in between
|
|
A storm at sea
|
The bow cracked
|
And I was capsizing
|
And I sunk below
|
Where I swore I would never go
|
If you can't stand in place
|
You can't tell who is walking away
|
From who remains
|
Who stays, who stays, who stays
|
|
And there are no tears
|
Just pity and fear
|
And a vast ravine
|
Right in between
|
|
'Cause there are no tears
|
Just pity and fear
|
And I recall
|
The push more than the fall
|
The push more than the fall
|
|

Pity and Fear
