There's a wire slowly stretching
And now you ask him all the questions, the same ones as before
But you know that he is lying
And with your arms around him now, you're begging please
But he moves towards the open door
And you find you're screaming 'no'
But something breaks this time, you find you cannot move
Is it wrong to let him walk into the water?
Close your eyes for just one moment
You get so tired the endless days of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet him
To turn away - he disappears into the tide
All your love it cannot save him
All your love it cannot save him
And everybody holds a secret that draws them with its breath
The one that will destroy them
Oh, the warming glow of poison - it's so easy going down
Just to spite the days of reason
Oh, my abandoned child, we'll both end up as fools
I can see it in your craving eyes that I cannot hold you
All the warning shots will be lost and drowned
In the roar of the crashing waves
And is it wrong to let you walk into the water?
Close my eyes for just one moment
I get so tired the endless days of watching over
And is it wrong as the waves boil up to greet you
To turn away - you disappears into the tide
All my love it cannot save you
All my love it cannot save you
