Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1981
Tabbed by: graph_sas
Tuning: normal
, ,
Riff 1: [, , ]
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
Riff 2: [, , ]
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
Repeat Riff 1: [, , ] x2
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [, , ] x 2
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes so many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia
You leave me
, ,
Breathing like the drowning man
, ,
Breathing like the drowning man
Repeat Riff 1,and 2 two times alternately to the end...
