Lyrics
Arrival In Nara
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As she submarines, the rope loops 'round her feeble feet
Before the dawn breaks on her sorry grasp
In a blink and in one motion
Rope constricts, rips her towards the ocean
She never finds her bearings
Sucking splash into her lungs
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Though I cannot see, I can hear
Her smile as she sings
And though I cannot see, I can hear
Her smile as she sings
Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
