I wrote the tale in which I dwell
I know precisely how it ends
But I don’t believe I have the strength
To see it through again

The tide that pulls me, pulls me down
Is stronger than the fall
I only swam in one direction
Wish to swim no more

I called you
Did you call me?
I always thought of you 
As someone I could call
In an emergency

With every pal I had
And with every pal I never had
All fallen by the waysides
Or just rolling overboard

When I put my trust in them
As I put my trust in you
And every compass spins for you
And every ship adrift for you
And hold me
From what I may do
To myself in spite of you

And tender was our fine defeat
And splendid our decline and fall
My eyes were blind
To all but you
I wish to see no more

Now help me to my feet, young man
And guide me to the door
I only ask for one reason
I wish to see no more

I called you
Did you call me?
I always thought of you
As someone I could call
In an emergency
Did you call me?
I was always someone you could lie to
In an emergency
