Fall Of Rome Lyrics - All Fall Down - Shawn Colvin

The city is crumbling 

Like Rome or Pompeii 

And there's nothing to do 

But get out of the way 

When you know you can save no one 

Like an empty old bottle 

The ship has gone down 

The Titanic is sinking 

And the band plays on 

And you know you can save no one 

[Chorus:] 

Maybe a message is coming to you 

In the middle of nowhere from out of the blue 

Then cross the dark distance and lay down your guns 

For Rome it has fallen 

And morning has begun 

In anyone's heartache 

And in anyone's blues 

Is the beautiful feeling 

Of nothing to lose 

When you know you can save no one
