Title: Reaching further

I'll reach a bit further
you were definitely still, still and beautiful
and the end has come too soon
and it's a peculiar stance
I'll reach a bit further

I will do all the things I said I would
I'd apologise in your fault
I'd make better wounds that aren't to heal
I'll grow behind hands that are clever
and I'll remember this, but only if
but only if

Chorus: You can say we tried
you can promise you'll do better
you can reach a bit further
open arms open heart closed mind
and remember the old memories
buried bodies in the sand
and you can say we tried
but promise me, darling
promise you'll do better

I watch you decay
behind hands that are clever
you're still recalling, I am the beckoner
I wonder how much I can take of it
I wonder how much I can reach further

and if by any chance
you ever feel recovered
please spend a little time with me
you are my true love, my darling light
my body afloat in dangerous seas

chorus

ending: I wonder how much
I wonder how much
I could reach, I could reach much further
