Lyrics

My Heart Was There To Break My Fall


If money talks, to coin a phrase
I?ve only really heard it whisper all my days
I?ve never felt the kiss of fate
I fortune smiles on those she pleases
I?ve never given her a reason not to frown
Those dark clouds followed me around

But then you came and you gave me hope
And you took two halves and you made a whole lot of love grow
From out of my dusty soul
Then, from out of nowhere you said goodbye
When my guard was down and my hopes were high
When you dropped that bomb I wasn?t hurt at all
You see, my heart was there to break my fall

The luck of the draw so rarely mine
I tend to get paranoid when things go right
Lady Luck?s never on my side
In the blink of an eye my luck had changed
I remember thinking how your love made me feel strange
Not used to things working out my way

When the hand I held showed me to the door
And my dark clouds covered my head once more
I heard my misery cry out for company
Now how dare the stars even shine at all
How can those around seem to carry on
When a life?s been torn ? when I plunged headlong
At least my heart was there to break my fall

I?ve lived in this desert so long I really have no use for water
I won?t chase another mirage in vain
My heart?s gotten used to this draught conditioned not to feel emotion
With nothing to show but a deep fear of rain
