Lyrics Peter Gabriel

Peter Gabriel

When You're Falling

Every day, you crawl into the night

A fallen angel, with your wings set alight

When you hit the ground, everything turns to blue

I can't get through the smoke, that's surrounding you

'cause when you're falling

I can't tell which way is down

And when you're screaming

Somehow I don't hear a sound

And when you're seeing things

Then your feet don't touch the ground

'cause when you're falling

I can't tell which way is down

I can see through the clouds, I can walk right through the walls

Hang me off the ceiling, but I can't take the fall

Should I cross the river, when I may get swept away

Out there on the water, you can still see me wave

'cause when you're falling

I can't tell which way is down

When you're falling

I can't tell which way is down

I can see all those things

My feet don't touch the ground..

'cause when you're falling

I can't tell which way is down

And when you're screaming

Somehow I don't hear a sound

And when you're seeing things

Then your feet don't touch the ground

'cause when you're falling

I can't tell which way is down

And when you're screaming

Somehow I don't hear a sound
