She stands twelve feet above the flood

She stares
Alone
Across the water

Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards

One by one her senses die

The memories fade
And leave her eyes

Still seeing worlds that never were

And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Repeat Riff 2: [G, F#, Bb] x 2
Dm Em
Starting at the violent sound
Bb
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Dm Em
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
Bb
The water bows
Receives her
