Tumbling Tumbling down
Tumbling down (aaay)
Tumbling down (it all comes)
Tumbling tumbling down
Tumbling down (down)
Inside the well of your silence
We do not touch
My arms rust at the hinges
Water swirls between us
Faster than I can bail.
We tumble to the bottom and there is deeper still
Here now a river
That splits us in two
Pulls us wide until we cannot cross over
It's over!
But who will say It?
All of this us collapsed in time
All of this love left out until it sours
What was ours, now yours and mine
And we are landmines
Everything is loaded now
And we cannot bear it
Everything is crumbling now
Tumbling now
Tumbling
Tumbling
Down
Crawling in the silence
Drowning in the well
Leave me if you might
Castles built for years come crashing down
Flee if you have to
Leave me if you know
It all comes tumbling tumbling down
It all comes tumbling tumbling tumbling
And we fall out of love
The same way we fell in
Reckless
It's over
And you say it like passing salt at the dinner table
And pick the bits of my heart from your teeth
That night I dream a dream inside another dream
I'm falling
I wake up and I'm falling still
I wake up and everything stills
Frozen in time
Before is a memory turned to dust
After is a world where there is no us
We search forward into tomorrow
But you break the thrust with your touch
And we make love like our world is ending
It is.
We will never be these people again
And I know now how a good natured girl turns witch
How the knotted sight of two bodies taking hold makes her monstrous.
And long after I should have forgotten
Our favourite song is still an allergy that
Troubles the dazzling ghost of what we buried
All that was well and living here
Gone
I haunt the house where we planted roses on the roof
Turn our love letters into daggers
I disappear
The children we did not have
The ribbons in their hair crumble to dust in my hands on our bed
Her hands draw you back in
Lips part into a red moan that peels the floor boards open
I join the legion of broken hearted women who tumble into The earth
Where your feet touch the ground.
Tumbling tumbling down (it all)
Tumbling down (comes)
Tumbling down (It all)
Tumbling tumbling down
Tumbling down
(It all comes tumbling)
