I watched you on the dance floor
You were leaving me
You said my feet were too heavy for dancing
But that's what you needed me to be
And so I watched you falling for somebody
Whose head was as light as his feet; but that was all you could see
The water was rising, the rain falling down
People breaking each other's hearts all over this town
He was drinking in your frame, thinking of what you might do
I was drowning in whisky, staring at my shoes
Thinking oh if I could fly away
'Bird fly high by the light of the moon'
So I walked out in the rain
Counting my footsteps to take my mind off the pain
Seconds before dawn, the sky turning blue
Why in God's name must I still love you?
And I'm walking to nowhere
Still hoping that I will find you there
