These fires never die   They told me this would help   I'm walking by the water      I'm falling with the tide   They said that this would end   I went as far as I could      I'm on distant ground now   Fishing-boats go by   I fall asleep too early      I scream when no one hears me   The waves will wipe it out   And we'll be even      I turn my face to   From wherever the wind blows   Is it worth so much to try?      I'm at the airport waiting   For lights to fade below   And then: something else      All instant things are fading   The pain will go   I won't remember      And if the lights went out   If the elevator stopped   If we were lost where I was      Or in the deepest tunnel   The train just stopped   But you gave me no chance      I turn my face to   from wherever the wind blows   Is it worth so much to try?
