It looks like a rainbow, it looks like a vine Pends over the river, twists on the inside I started to climb into it like a visionary Voice told me to wait a minute, pulled me out so I could see That it is a long way to the other side There is no way out once you are inside And as you climb it, it slowly turns you around You will land with your head on the ground I visualised entrapment in the peak Arms gripping the rung, hanging by my feet I wonder if I could have made it, if I could have made it through If I hadn't listened, if I had ignored you But it is a long way to the other side And there is no way out once you are inside And as you climb it, it slowly turns you around You will land with your head on the ground I'll never know (I will never know) If you saved my life (if you saved my life) Or kept me from growing (I will never know) But if you did, then I apologise, for I'll never forgive you You know it was my choice to take the risk and climb But when I heard your voice, it overshadowed mine And now the chance is gone, the other side so far away The river still goes on, I will always hear you say That it is a long way to the other side There is no way out once you are inside And as you climb it, it slowly turns you around You will land with your head on the ground
