She laid her thoughts out on the table
With sorrow difficult and bright
She had decided to sever her ties
As the horizon burned she turned
The wind combed through her hair like high notes
Tinkling furrows across the sky
There would be tears, flowers, long shadows
She could see it now the jets would dive
Away away away you go before they push you under
Away away away you go before they pull you in
She held herself up at the high point
A joining of decision and dismay
And clay was forming over her feet
And as the horizon blurred, she turned and she knew
Away away away you go before they push you under
Away away away you let it go before it pulls you in
Cold into the current there she goes
Cold into the current there she goes
Cold into the current there she goes
Cold into the current there she goes
The way it is, the way it goes, the way it gets you down, you know
The way it is, the way it goes, the way it gets you down
Away away away you go before they push you under the ground
Away away away you go before it pulls you in
Away away away you go before they push you under the ground
Away away away you go before it pulls you in
With sorrow difficult and bright
She had decided to sever her ties
As the horizon burned she turned
The wind combed through her hair like high notes
Tinkling furrows across the sky
There would be tears, flowers, long shadows
She could see it now the jets would dive
Away away away you go before they push you under
Away away away you go before they pull you in
She held herself up at the high point
A joining of decision and dismay
And clay was forming over her feet
And as the horizon blurred, she turned and she knew
Away away away you go before they push you under
Away away away you let it go before it pulls you in
Cold into the current there she goes
Cold into the current there she goes
Cold into the current there she goes
Cold into the current there she goes
The way it is, the way it goes, the way it gets you down, you know
The way it is, the way it goes, the way it gets you down
Away away away you go before they push you under the ground
Away away away you go before it pulls you in
Away away away you go before they push you under the ground
Away away away you go before it pulls you in
