Lyrics:

I've never known eyes to smile half so sadly as that.
Until now.
This moment.
And I've never known words to fail me anything like this badly.
Before.
Before now.

The traces of tears are not erased by the tips of my fingers.
Like they ought to.
Ought to be.
And the words are in my throat -
they are caught there & lost, or drowned,
or they linger to be swept,
To be swept away.

Who would believe that as bad as it gets that it's just getting worse?
Burn! Burn!
That as bad as it gets it's just getting worse?
Turn, Turn away.

The house is on fire & there is no one to save it.
Is there really no way,
and no one?
And the flames that consume what is left of our love are fearsome.
And they're cruel.
And merciless.
