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?
