Face Down

Wednesday's come and gone; five years

I throw no roses in

Just drive across the bridge and be done

Wonders sing above my head, swirl swirl in the riverbed

I'm a stranger in this town

I'm a stranger to this city that leaves its taste on my tongue

But wednesday's come and gone

Blown free out to sea like all the other days

I never sit still yet still his spirit stays

Like a lover long drowned

Singing all the way down

Face down

Love has come and gone; three years

I begin anew

Just drop the torch onto the bridge and walk on alone

Dead regrets buzz inside my head, no, go girl, it's better left unsaid

Stranger to my own heart--stranger to my own heart says

You always were the stronger one

I realize all this time

I've only been afraid of pain

Someday i'll be more at peace

But for now i am running like rain

Like a lover long drowned

Singing all the way down

Face down

Left alone in this town

Singing all the way down

Face down--turn around.

Do the wonders sing above your head?

Are you dancing in the riverbed?

You know you left your taste on my tongue

You know you left your taste on my tongue

But that love has come and gone

Blown free out to sea with all the other dreams

I keep so still yet still my spirit screams

Like a lover long drowned...i turn around, not looking back or looking down
