The Fall
Written April 1991
Appears on Only My Hairdresser Knows For Sure
Available as an mp3

Love for me is nothing but a charade
Just a game that the lonely people play
We want for more and still we search for less
And never really cure our loneliness
And they say that love will make it right
But my love never lasts more than a night.

Love for me is more a want than a need
Something I want when I feel I need to leave
But I'm always left with a nagging doubt
I've already left when I've worked it out
And they say that love will make it right
The fruit seems sweet, but I won't bite
Some you want to last, some you don't want at all
In either case, I know I don't want to fall.

And they say that love will make it right
But a heart that grows wings will only take flight
From edge of the cliff I hear the eagle call
But still I find I don't want to fall

(Solo)

And so I go through all the one nights I can stand
Playing solitaire with a second hand
I don't even know what I'm trying to win
But as each game ends I start a new one again
And still the fall is before my eyes
With just one step, I could fall into your eyes
Even though I fell I could win it all
Still I find I don't want to fall.
  I don't want to fall
  I don't want to fall
  I don't want to fall.
