12. Reaching for the Rail (https://youtu.be/Mzv1fu96J1s)


[Verse 1: Sinéad O'Connor]

I'm ill with a fever, I feel like a child

I lay in the dark 'till morning came

It's so unoriginal

And I feel it worse at night

And I know it's not terminal

But I'm near half-dead with fright

And freezing cold


[Verse 2: Sinéad]

But sooner than wake up, to find it all unchanged

I'll sleep through the day 'till the daylight ends

Cause it's all so familiar, as it comes around again

The same taste to everything

The same unbroken chain

That still remains


[Verse 3: Sinéad]

With morning I rise

A dream that won't leave me

You're sad, naked and pale

And you're reaching for the rail


[Verse 4: Richard Wright]

You took a look inside, how could you peel away

Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well, for all your days

And you're going down

As you slip beneath the waves

Won't make a sound

Won't even leave a trace before you


[Verse 5: Sinéad & Wright]

I hear an appaling sigh from the street below

And it's creeping fear congealed in stone, that paves the crazy road

And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly

At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with

Just take these and you'll really never feel it
