Oh so, my love, this sleeping pill Will watch you through the night And come the dawn I'll be long, long gone I tried, I tried, I tried I tried I tried We feed upon the broken branch We kiss the stars goodbye For the sun can't fight this overcast I tried, I tried, I tried I tried I tried The spider's web can't break our fall I whisper to the sky I pray she takes you in her arms I tried, I tried, I tried I tried I tried I tried Storm warning in the sand She evaporates beneath my fingernails The road is lost underwater She's running down the river with eels She is lost to me
