Lyrics
Fallin' I was out of control
Didn't want any new arms around me
Buildings burning to a big black hole
Smoke as far as I can see
Friends gone, and no meaning to find
In those dust filled streets
Too many questions left behind
Papers blowin' at my feet
CHORUS:
The leaves are fallin' from the trees
And the Hudson river's still flowin to the sea
there's pain like a shadow I cannot see
so i'll let your shining carry me
A little song scrawled on a page
Old guitar upon my knees
A few notes to replace the rage
With a low and lilting melody
After the show we talked all night
About God and love and pain
I cried when you said you'll be alright
You?ll just never be the same
CHORUS
Strange how close I felt your touch
Like something I felt one time
I didn't know that I'd withdrawn so much
As I watched the world unwind
I hear you laugh, soft and low
Your red hair hanging down
A little love like a corner stone
Set solid in the ground
CHORUS
