She laid her thoughts out on the table
With sorrow difficult and bright
She had decided to sever her ties
As the horizon burned, she turned

The wind combed through her hair
Like high notes
Tinkling furrows across the sky,
There would be tears, flowers, long shadows
She could see it now they would dive

Away away
Away you go
Before they push you under
Away away
Away you go
Before they pull you in

She held herself up at the high point
A joining of decision and dismay
And clay was forming over her feet
And as the horizon blurred, she turned
And she knew

Away away
Away you go
Before they push you under
Away away
Away you let it go
Before it pulls you in

Cold into the current there she goes [4x]

The way it is
The way it goes
The way it gets you down, you know

Away away
Away you go
Before they push you under the ground
Away away
Away you go
Before it pulls you in
