Pity and Fear Lyrics

I have such a envy for this stranger lying next to me Who awakes in the night and slips out into the pre-dawn light No words, a clean escape, no promises or messes made And chalks it all up to mistake, mistake, mistake
And there are no tears just pity and fear The vast ravine right in between
A storm at sea, the bow cracked and I was capsizing I sunk below where I swore I would never go If you can't stand in place, you can't tell who's walking away From who remains, who stays, who stays, who stays
And there are no tears just pity and fear The vast ravine right in between
'Cos there are no tears just pity and fear And I recall the push more than the fall The push more than the fall
