Falling

 

I used to stand on a mountain top

Felt like I could fly

I used to still dream of more

Even up so high

 

I never once looked over the edge

To see the trail I had worn

I kept looking up at the golden clad

Believing I was torn

 

But now I’m falling

Nearing the bottom rocks

Now I’m falling

Head first off the rock

 

Looking back up, past my feet

Toward the mouintain top

I can see where I once stood

Wishing I could stop

 

I didn’t realize I had slipped

Until I hit my head on a branch

All the memories of days gone by

Make me wish I had a chance

 

But now I’m falling

Nearing the bottom rocks

Now I’m falling

Head first off the rock

 

I used to dream of better things

Not seeing where I was

I used to dream that I had wings

Not looking on my back

 

Now I’m grabbing for everything

Wishing for days in the past

Even reaching out for a fling

Any dollar store will do

 

But now I’m falling

Nearing the bottom rocks

Now I’m falling

Head first off the rock

 

Nostalgia hits me hard

Everytime I simply sing

Remembering the gutter

Which came down long ago

 

But hey, the past is past us

And I gotta move on in this pit

I might have missed the bus

But I’m still goin’ on this trip

 

I’m falling, I’m falling

Nearing the bottom rocks

I’m falling, I’m falling

Head first off the docks
