No mistake about it. Ice is cold; roses are red; I'm in love. And this love is about to carry me off somewhere. The current's too overpowering; I don't have any choice.

Too much trouble to cling to the rest

I'm not afraid to die. What I'm afraid of is having reality get the better of me, of having reality leave me behind.
