Lyrics

nb: lyric for male vocalist (female lyric is below)
Alternate title: (Learn How to Love) Learn How To Fall

LEARN HOW TO FALL

1 Sad-eyed singer, broken angel
On her ownsome on the stage, well
Sometimes she hit the mark, sometimes she hit the wall
But you've got to stumble to learn how to fall

2 She was booked all summer, leavin' sunday
I said "I got nothin' doin' monday"
I'd been hangin' round in Smalltown, gettin' nowhere at all
And you've got to stumble to learn how to fall

ch She kept me guessing through Carolina
Through Minnesota and California
And I'd be writing one more love song
On every motel wall
One more love song so she'd learn how to fall

3 She took me riding on that endless highway
Every main-street diner, every broken byway
From the the Oklahoma state fair to an Arizona mall
How long could it take her to learn how to fall?

ch She kept me guessing through Carolina
Through Minnesota and California
And I'd be singing one more love song
To every motel wall
One more love song - she'd learn how to fall

br We had a set of fifty songs
About love gone wrong and love set free
She'd take the lead or sing along
With hand on ear harmony
Sweet harmony

4 Well we kept on rolling with the punches
We were short on money, big on hunches
It was motel number 59, she touched my arm in the hall
She said "I'm ready when you are to learn how to fall"

coda I want to learn how to love / want to learn how to fall
Want to learn how to love / want to learn how to fall
Learn how to fall...
