Woman Overboard

And she's laid herself bare
This time it's about her
And when her hours are ending
There's still love to defer

Dark and slow are the nightmares
And her language is small
Says she needs a friend to listen
But in silence she falls

And the fear of the distance
Between sunset and truth
And I'm right here beside her
Trying to be of some use

Woman overboard, woman overboard
She's not waving, she's going down
But she's still breathing and holding on
Woman overboard

Her horizons are drifting
And she's wanting to please
And she keeps her secrets quietly
And she knows when to leave

Woman overboard, woman overboard
She's not waving, she's going down
But she's still breathing and holding on
Woman overboard, woman overboard
