Well, she tossed all night like a raging sea   Woke up and climbed from the suicide machine      With her Spanish candles and her Persian poems   Struck on the rocks and sighed Opus 40 stoned      And scratching her wrists in the pouring rain   She collapses down upon the ocean floor again      Tears in waves, minds on fire   Nights alone by your side      Catskill mansions, buried dreams   "I'm alive," she cried, but I don't know what it means      But somewhere out there across the moonlit sands   There's a line drawn like the lines on her own hand      And slamming her eyes, locking the door   She collapses down upon the ocean floor again      Tears in waves, minds on fire   Nights alone by your side      Tears in waves, minds on fire   Nights alone by your side      Tears in waves, minds on fire   Nights alone by your side
