(Mary Gauthier) |
|
I felt the flames on my face |
|
When I found the nerve to meet your eyes, so green |
|
I stumbled towards your elegance |
|
I tumbled, wide awake into a dream |
|
And there you stood, so beautiful |
|
Destiny seduces, after all |
|
I fell into the fire |
|
That's a long way to fall |
|
You gave me strength to speak |
|
When my voice was weak and words were hard to find |
|
Your faith in me was solid and |
|
it stood me up when I couldn't steady mine |
|
All those times I cried at night |
|
You promised me it'd be all right |
|
You held me while my demons danced and crawled |
|
I fell into your open arms |
|
That's a long way to fall |
|
A long way to fall |
|
A long way to fall |
|
I never should have drifted |
|
I never should have left you all alone |
|
I don't know what comes over me |
|
Looks like I'll always be |
|
the troubled kid that runs away from home |
|
I reached for you the other night |
|
You rolled away and moved against the wall |
|
I fell into the space between us |
|
That's a long way to fall |
|
A long way to fall |
|
A long way to fall |
|
I got no one to hold on to and |
|
I'm sinking slowly to my knees |
|
I might learn to pray down here |
|
or maybe I'll beg you baby, please |
|
But you stare at me with marble eyes |
|
And I don't think I've ever felt this small |
|
I've fallen out of your good graces |
|
That's a long way to fall |
|
A long way to fall, A long way to fall |
