Wasting Away (from Swoon Cd Single) Lyrics

Cloaked in black like the stars, so wrapped up in yourself you are
The needle taste sweeter by far than the cold light of day
And as you become enslaved to the puppy that you grief
There is nothing I can do to save you from slipping away
And I just wanted, just needed to say
I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away

So when you just can't take anymore and the nappy comes too full of pain
You reach for the comfort of your white stallion again And I just wanted, just needed to say
I hate to see you wasting away, just wasting away
Just wasting away

I've seen the fire die away, I've seen the sunset in your eyes
I've seen the darkness coming down and I just needed to say good bye

So you're dancing with the candy man, he's saving the last words for you
And as he leads you away by the hand there is nothing I can do
There is nothing I can do
Goodbye to you, goodbye to you
