Everything Falls Away

wasn't a cloud in the sky when the news arrived
 just another bluebird day
 just a voice on the phone saying I'm sorry
 everything falls away
 so i went down to the sea to look for you
 found the moon and the Milky Way
 watched the tide take back what it gave to me
 everything falls away
 i live in the fear that my heart will break
 i look for the thing that'll cure the ache
 just one thing that the world can't take away
 i want to dive beneath the undertow
 down to the bones of the earth below
 i want to know, i want to know – where did you go
 I saw you so clear in a dream last night
 diving from the cliffs at Echo Bay
 the arc and the pause and the slow descent
 everything falls away
