Fall From Grace

Stevie Nicks

I choose to be his confidant 
And to keep him from the fire 
I choose to be quietly discreet 
If that is his desire 
I touch with gossamer wings 
To be quiet around you 
There is so much going on 
You could easily 

Chorus
Wake up with a stranger 
It's not something you plan 
One night in a world of pain 
And you finally understand 
Not all the king's horses, not all the king's men 
Could put it back together 

You say you wouldn't do this for very long 
The applause from it all is so defining 
Well it bounces off the wall at you 
When the miracle is happening 
High priestess...she's the keeper of the peace in this 
Twice as much, intensified 
What people will do 
To get...this...high 

Chorus

And now alone in my room 
As it all begins again 
Was I so wrong 
Why am I always so intense 
In this same place I sit 
The same place as before 
Well I came all the way here 
Just to watch you walk out that door 

I didn't ask when you shook your head 
I always accepted what you said 
As the truth and the truth only 
Well it's not enough that you depend on me 
And it's not enough that you say you love me 
It's not enough to just save face 
Because sometimes 
You just fall from grace 
Sometimes 
You just fall from grace 

Maybe I am calmer now 
Maybe things are fine 
Maybe I made the whole thing up 
Maybe it isn't a lie 
Maybe the reason I say these things 
Is to bring you back alive 
Maybe I fought this long and this hard 
Just to make sure you survive 
Just to make sure you survive
