Paragraph Lyric
The lady is dying
She bends back like a wave
As her spirit is climbing
Through the hospital wall and away

And I wanted to hold you
As you made your escape
But now I should have told you
When your eyes were alive and awake

Always in life we all must make this mistake
And so I go it alone
And the pressure is great
I hold on to my own
Oh please oh don't go away

I wanted to know you
Before you started to fade
But I gave everything to
A lie and a farce and a fake
The lady is dying   She bends back like a wave   As her spirit is climbing    Through the hospital wall and away      And I wanted to hold you    As you made your escape   But now I should have told you    When your eyes were alive and awake      Always in life we all must make this mistake   And so I go it alone    And the pressure is great    I hold on to my own   Oh please oh don't go away      I wanted to know you    Before you started to fade   But I gave everything to   A lie and a farce and a fake
