3:23From the thinnest air The faintest prayer A tight-roped heart Tumbling down Standing there In the airport where He felt it break It made no sound Came down to earth For what it's worth Feet never even Touched the ground Not another girl In all the world He'd rather put His arms around Jack and Jill Drove down the hill And all around them Sand and water The Eye of Mars In a sky of stars Someone's son And someone's daughter Back to back With all he lacks Back of her hand He'd know by sight Side by side 'cross the great divide The tidal girl In harbour light And the song was sung And they were done Borrowed time A moment's grace On the street outside A last goodbye And a final look On mercy's face
