She went out And foundHer father face down on the ground Out in the cold Walked her way 'round A hill where the sun's sinking down Into the snow Oh, white caps of the waves slap Like last hand claps And the dark Water dies in the crash[And] is sucked back with a moan Smoke on the coast And old, piled fathers Soft-sighing daughters Where does it go It's a dream now I'll describe Let your mind drift on down Like soTo when the world was young Big skyBlue with a dead Bachelor's tongue Blood-red bloom on the rose So, some line someone told Says, "Even light can get old" Oh, slobbering lovers Drink-clinking brothers They don't have to tell us' Cause we know So, I said"What a way downWhat a rideWhat a slideSpin aroundWhat a life to have knownWhat a time" And howI was singing out in a crowd Of a thousand of the most frightening faces I've known When the lighthouse Lending a sight, finally went out What a fright we felt in that night Friends, just shout it all out All the 'why's and 'no-no's All the cries in your throat How rightWe felt With our hands tightly closed Around something we broke And then our whimpering sisters Sobbing well-wishers Well, it's over Just let my hand go
