Well summer time in England
Is still rainy and cold
But every now and then
The sun comes out
And it sparkles like gold
And I remember such a day
When I first laid eyes on you
And though I didn't want to
Give my heart away
You soon convinced me to
We talked about the world
How we thought
It had gone insane
Wrapped up in
Each other's arms
We didn't see a soul for days
We said we'd spend the winter
In each other's warmth
But the way that
Things turned out
We didn't get that chance
After all
And after all (Ohh)
From grace you fall
From grace you fall
I walked into the
Place that night
And I saw her standing there
I felt a fear right in my bones
Though I wished I didn't care
Cause I'm not the type to worry
Though I've been
Known to make a fuss
But deep down in my stomach
There was a feeling
I shoulda trusted
But you told me that
You were tired
So I drank myself a cider
In that grimy place
Just down the road
Thought I could use
Some sleep myself
I'm not exactly the
Picture of health
I'm gonna take myself home
And after all (Ohh)
From grace you fall (Ooh)
And after all (Ooh)
From grace you fall
Now what happened next
Thinking back now
Was for the best
But at the time I felt
My life was over
What a great coincidence
That in that 20 second window
I walked right past the
Right street corner
I walked right up behind you
As that big black taxi cab
Was just about to
Take you away with her
Placed my hand
Upon your shoulder
And I looked into your face
And you didn't
Have to say a word
All the guilt, all the fear
Every lie I'd been so
Eager to hear
Was welling in your eyes
In that fragment of a moment
With my hand
Upon your shoulder
I'd been a fool
I'd finally realized
And after all (Ohh)
From grace you fall (Ohh)
And after all (Ohh)
From grace you fall
As I walked away
From that pub in Archway
I knew I'd never be the same
As how I was with you that day
I'll never hear you call my name
The way I did before
And I won't ever get to see you
In your winter jacket after all
