You made a promise to yourself you'd find her and bring her back for the world to see. She is shimmering, she is beautiful. You thought catching her would set you free.

She was such a long way down...

With the line pulled tight, cuttin' through your hands you were up all night. Was it hallucination, or did your eyes see right?

You made a promise to yourself you'd find her and bring her back for the world to see. She is shimmering, she is beautiful. You thought catching her would set you free.

She was such a long way down...

    Hemingway

    Pretty much the narrative of his novella. Fits with the whole death motif of the album.
