Long Way To Fall Lyrics - Mary Gauthier

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 

Photos 

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
