Out of Breath

out in the darkness

there's a man on his knees

quietly whispering: "please"

always thought he'd get away with it all

no-one saw him dropping the ballout of breath and on to the ground

no more words to be found

the strings were always too tightly bound

and when they break they (make a) sound

so listen closely while i climb

out of time, out of time

out of breath and on to the ground

on to the ground

into the groundin the distance you can hear someone cry

quietly asking him why

he's in the river trying to get some air

swimming fast but going nowhere
