It gradually happened so fast you know And it suddenly happened so slow Now I'm washed up and waiting for the tide to carry me home And let me go Such a long way home You want to leave so fast How is it gonna last? You know it's a long way down Up in the stratosphere I'm all alone in here You know it's a long way down You know it's a long way down ???? When you're burned out and run aground There must be somebody out there Who can reach you when you're this far down
