Take my hand but take it slowly
Let it grow just like a lowly
Bean towards a grain of light
Let it be so small and hidden
Mixed into the air, forbidden
With my mind alone I might
Fallen in the green where you wait around for me
Fallen in between with your hand upon my knee
Kidneys shrink inside the darkness
I know I must stay regardless
Gonna do the best I can
Lay my hand down when he makes me
I alone must save or break me
This I swear I understand
Still I feel a cold like a shadow in my ear
It’s that sound again and I wonder if you’re near
No nothing’s wrong, I told myself
I would be strong but I let it slip away.
Hey did you say the only way to get there is to fall
Tumble to the day?
Hands go limp just like a baby
Sun breaks through the glass and maybe
You alone could make me smile
Life moves on then like a train
To crash and clatter in my brain, but please
Could you stay with me awhile?
Its that gold again, something warm against my ear
Sun is pouring in and it feels as though you’re near
No nothing’s wrong, I told myself
I would be strong but I let it slip away
Hey would you say the only way to get there is to fall
Tumble to the day?
Feel you breathing, how could I?
There’s no one here but I
Feel your hands upon my face
Feel you standing square and solid
Heavy arms upon me I…
Now I feel a sense of place
If you found me there, if there was a way to meet me
Could I follow you, no I could never take your hand completely
No nothing’s wrong, I told myself
I would be strong but I let it slip away.
Hey did you say the only way to get there is to fall
Tumble to the day?
