1
The iron man came to the top of the cliff
2
How far had he walked nobody knows
3
Where had he come from nobody knows
4
How was he made, nobody knows
5
Taller than a house, the iron man stood
6
At the top of the cliff in the darkness
7
The wind sang through his iron fingers
8
And his great iron head, shaped like a dustbin
9
But as big as a bedroom
10
Slowly turned to the right, slowly turned to the left
11
He was hearing the sea
12
His eyes like headlamps, glowed white then red
13
Then infra-red, searching the sea
14
Never before had the iron man seen the sea
15
He swayed in the strong wind that pressed against his back
16
He swayed forward on the brink of the high cliff
17
And his right foot, his enormous iron right foot
18
Lifted-up out into space
19
And the iron man stepped forward, off the cliff into nothingness
20
Crash
21
Down the cliff, the iron man came toppling head over heels
22
Crash, crash, crash
23
From rock to rock, tumbling slowly
24
And as he crashed and crashed, his iron legs fell off
25
His iron arms broke off
26
And the hands broke off the arms
27
His great iron ears fell off
28
And his eyes fell out
29
His great iron head fell off
30
All the separate pieces tumbled scattered crashing
31
Bumping clanging down, on to the rocky beach far below
32
Then silence
33
Nobody knew the iron man had fallen
34
Nobody knew the iron man had fallen
