You Fall

You Fall

You run into her on the street
She barely says hello
You tilt to hear her voice that's all
You watch her walk away
And you fall

You fall into a darkness
You fall into a dream
You fall into a shadow
And nothings what it seems

You find her picture
Tucked inside a book
Faded and frayed
Her eyes are bright
Her smile glows
You watch her walk away
And you fall

You fall into a darkness
You fall into a dream
You fall into a shadow
And nothings what it seems

The telephone rings late at night
You don't know the number
You hear breathing on the machine
You scramble across the floor
She hangs up once more
And you fall

You fall into a darkness
You fall into a dream
You fall into a shadow
And nothings what it seems

Somewhere in a dream you feel
The soft caress of her lips
Sliding across your burning skin
You toss within your tangles
You wake up all alone
And you fall

You fall into a darkness
You fall into a dream
You fall into a shadow
And nothings what it seems
