Fall

You say you never fell before

But this time you must have slipped, now you know how it feels.

You say you've always watched your step

But this time you must have tripped and went head over heels.

Now you say it, your so good and you want me to fall too

What a crazy thing to ask someone you love to do.

No I'd rather not fall.

Fall leads a river wrong

And it pulls apart a mountain and throws him over the edge.

At first it feels real good

But he's half way down when he sees there's real trouble ahead.

Above the ragged rocks below, he wonders was it worth the thrill.

Cause if the fall don't do him in then the sudden stop surely will.

No I'd rather not fall.

Just let me slip into this slow and easy

I've got my sight set on the long, long haul.

I believe we're headed for the same place baby

Let's change this pace to a slow crawl

I'll walk in standing tall, but I'd rather not fall.

Fall takes a shooting star

And it burns into a streak of disappearing light

And when the darkness falls

It turns away the sun and leaves us here in the night.

Steals the green from the trees

And paints them red and gold

Leaves them standing there in the winter air

With their branches bare and cold

No I'd rather not fall.

Just let me slip into this slow and easy

I've got my sight set on the long, long haul.

I believe we're headed for the same place baby

Let's change this pace to a slow crawl

I'll walk in standing tall, but I'd rather not fall.

No I'd rather not fall.

No I'd rather not fall.
