Rock climber looking down on all she left behind
She don't seem to mind
'Cause she's tethered to the line
She don't worry, she just reaches out her hand
You wouldn't understand
Oh, it's all part of a plan
Hm-mm-mm
Oh, it's a long way down, love
And it passes in slow motion
You watch it all go by
And flash so bright
Oh, it's a long way down, love
And it passes in slow motion
You watch it all go by
And flash so bright right before your eyes
Hm-mm-mm
The local news said an American had slipped
Her lifeline frayed and ripped
She tumbled to her death
And her mother grieved in silence on the plane
To collect all that remained
And fly back home again
Hm-mm-mm
Oh, it's a long way down, love
And it passes in slow motion
You watch it all go by
And flash so bright right before your eyes
So bright, so bright
So bright
So bright, so bright
So bright
Oh, it's a long way down, love
And it passes in slow motion
You watch it all go by
And flash so bright
Oh, it's a long way down, love
And it passes in slow motion
You watch it all go by
And flash so bright right before your eyes
