Long Way to Fall-Mary Gauthier

(Mary Gauthier) I felt the flames on my face When I found the nerve to meet your eyes, so green I stumbled towards your elegance I tumbled, wide awake into a dream And there you stood, so beautiful Destiny seduces, after all I fell into the fire That's a long way to fall You gave me strength to speak When my voice was weak and words were hard to find Your faith in me was solid and it stood me up when I couldn't steady mine All those times I cried at night You promised me it'd be all right You held me while my demons danced and crawled I fell into your open arms That's a long way to fall A long way to fall A long way to fall I never should have drifted I never should have left you all alone I don't know what comes over me Looks like I'll always be the troubled kid that runs away from home I reached for you the other night You rolled away and moved against the wall I fell into the space between us That's a long way to fall A long way to fall A long way to fall I got no one to hold on to and I'm sinking slowly to my knees I might learn to pray down here or maybe I'll beg you baby, please But you stare at me with marble eyes And I don't think I've ever felt this small I've fallen out of your good graces That's a long way to fall A long way to fall, A long way to fall
