Last night I rolled over in bed, I was covered in sweat
From a vision that I'd had of my untimely death
I was on a boat being chased by a bear
I'll leave the cause of death up to interpretation

Anyway, your side of the bed was still vacant
It's been a few weeks now, how long does it take
For the imprint of your body to heal
From the surface of the mattress?

'Cos every time I wake from my boat-themed nightmare
I roll over and find myself lying in the space where
You used to sleep, it seems to comfort me
And maybe that's why the imprint's still in the mattress, actually

All that to say
If you're awake
Right now, wherever you are
Did you just dream of being chased in the ocean?

Or do you sail
On peaceful seas?
Are you that silver girl
Shining brightly while you sail on by, baby?

Six months ago, my dad knocked on my bedroom door
Asked if you wanted to come to the living room and watch Elvis
Perform 'Bridge Over Troubled Water'
At the Hampton Roads Coliseum in 1972

I reluctantly agreed, but I'm glad that I did 'cos
At the time I found an epiphany inside of the lyrics
That you were the bridge
Over troubled waters of my anxieties and OCD

And as I lie here six months later with that song in my head
I finally realised that it must have been cruel to
See you as that bridge, all stagnant and crumbling
When you'd have been much happier as that silver girl, shining on

I was afraid
To let you go
In many ways, I still haven't
But in a more accurate, physical way, I definitely have

I see you now
You silver girl
Passing under that bridge
Shining brightly as you sail out to sea

So sail on
You silver girl
Into the sea
Wherever you want to be

So sail on
You silver girl
Into the sea
Wherever you want to be

One more time
Silver girl
One more time

The Last Step
