Words

The ground beneath
It is cold and hard and through with you
Each day the start
To rise to heal to take apart

And you lie in their wake
Another ship they took down
And you sink like a stone
Underneath
Undertow
Underground

If you could just wait til morning
To slip away
You could just leave without warning
And come back when the world’s OK

When nothing works
Adds up or shakes out right
You see so clear
Everything you can’t do without tonight

And it might take a while
And you might let them down
And you sink like a stone
The last bright and broken sound
