Richard Wright (musician) - Reaching for the Rail lyrics

[Verse 1: Sinéad O'Connor] I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child I lay in the dark 'till morning came It's so unoriginal And I feel it worse at night And I know it's not terminal But I'm near half-dead with fright And freezing cold [Verse 2: Sinéad] But sooner than wake up, to find it all unchanged I'll sleep through the day 'till the daylight ends Cause it's all so familiar, as it comes around again The same taste to everything The same unbroken chain That still remains [Verse 3: Sinéad] With morning I rise A dream that won't leave me You're sad, naked and pale And you're reaching for the rail [Verse 4: Richard Wright] You took a look inside, how could you peel away Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well, for all your days And you're going down As you slip beneath the waves Won't make a sound Won't even leave a trace before you [Verse 5: Sinéad & Wright] I hear an appaling sigh from the street below And it's creeping fear congealed in stone, that paves the crazy road And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with Just take these and you'll really never feel it
