Would you forfeit the light for the darkness?
The lives of all those living for one dead?
Your name, upon those ashen lips hearkens
The day that you look forward to with dread
The morning when you'll wake from your slumber
And hear the clock's soft ticking in your ear
Slowly winding down to that empty number
That end that you had feared for both is near
Fast forward to the cliffs, to one more plea
Hold his hand in this final moment of bliss
Is this really the end of you and me?
The sun touches the waves in one last kiss
Take a breath and soar with him in your arms
Your wings fall away leaving your skin bare
Another helpless victim of love's charms
Free-falling, flightless through the embracing air
Count out loud twenty-one Mississippi's
And then disappear together in the sea
