Vine

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 round
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 round
You will land with your head on the ground

I'll never know if you saved my life or kept me from growing
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 round
You will land with your head on the ground
