Lyrics Mary Gauthier – Long Way To Fall

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

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
A long way to fall, a long way to fall
