lyrics

Baby take your medicine, don’t you go again. Saw you take to the air, fell like leaves down the stairs and since then we've both been slipping away. Clinging hard to these shapes from which our bodies are made but you're looking at me like a ghost.

Above the noise in the street, you wake in soaking sheets again. I try cool your brow as you lie back down looking like you are dead, apart from beads of sweat on your pretty forehead. I get such a deep sense of dread.

You’re so far away, I can't reach, I can’t take it.
You’re so far away. I can't reach.

In the canticles of love there must be reference to, somewhere, this heavy-handed blackness that has driven a wedge so firmly between me and you --- a constant companion always bearing his teeth, whispering false wisdom and grief

Oh, where your mind's been I can hardly begin to believe --- you tried to soar in the air like a bird on a prayer, and for a moment, you were free of your cares only you tumbled down so hard to the ground --- and your sadness is destroying me!

Because you’re so far away, I can't reach, I can’t take it.
You’re so far away. I can't reach.

But I’ll stay by your side and that’s how it must be anyway. So come on do your worst, I can share in the hurt and I’ll try keep firm my beliefs despite your two eyes like burning coals in the night --- oh, please take your medicine for me!

Maybe lessen the sound of the world falling down all around --- try pull the thorn from your side, lift the veil from your eyes. Baby, I want all of you! Not just the tears in my eyes long after you've died --- me and you, we belong in this life

But you’re so far away, I can't reach, I can’t take it.
You’re so far away, I can't reach.
You’re so far away, I can't reach, I can’t take it.
You’re so far away. I can't reach you….
