She says today is gonna be the last one
|
I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
|
She's rolling round the town with a fast gun
|
And I know I can't be there to catch her when she falls
|
|
Well half way down is half way out of here
|
We're either halfway drowned or half way 'round the pier
|
When you're that far gone
|
|
I walked the steps to her apartment with the window by the shore
|
And saw her curled on the tile through a crack in the door
|
I've been searching for the words I don't know how to say
|
I've been searching for the words to make it go away
|
I spent all of last night and the night before that
|
With my feet in the sand and the wind on my back
|
Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
|
There must be more than this with a kiss we can't see
|
|
[chorus]
|
Well half way down is half way out of here
|
We're eighter half way drowned or half way round the pier
|
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
|
She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
|
Singing I can't take it, I can't take any more
|
Just one reason, one to believe in
|
That's not that far gone
|
Not that far gone
|
|
I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed
|
And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath
|
Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs
|
To the cover of the night with diamonds in the air
|
I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water
|
To the rhythm of my feet a sister and a daughter
|
To the rhythm of the sea with the breeze in the autumn
|
As it blows through the trees my hands into the water
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
|
She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
|
And I can't take it, I can't take anymore
|
|
She says today is gonna be the last time
|
And I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
|

Can't Break Her Fall
