Falling

Written by Si Atherley

A song about love, friendship... and war

I’m crying
Crying in the dead of night
Trying to end the endless fight
That we began

I’m falling
Falling through your burning hands
Dying in your foreign lands
In this ugly war

[break]
[chorus]

Just because we cannot see
Eye to eye
Does not mean
We must say goodbye

Just because we disagree
Does not mean
That I hate you
And you hate me

I’m lonely
Lonely like a desert plain
Waiting for the pouring rain
To bring me life

I’m dying
Dying like an autumn leaf
Tumbling through your endless grief
That you won’t heal

[break]

We’re talking
Talking about the good old days
Laughing at the fashion craze
That drove them wild

We’re waiting
Waiting for the end of this
Waiting for an armistice
To bring us peace

[m8]
[chorus]

Just because we cannot see
Eye to eye
Does not mean
We must say goodbye

Just because we disagree
Does not mean
That I kill you
And you kill me

[straight into last verses]

You’re falling
Falling through my burning hands
Dying in my foreign lands
In this ugly war

You’re crying
Crying in the dead of night
Trying to end the endless fight
That we began
