Fall

Simon Gooden ©

First time I saw you I guess I knew

You were trouble

There’d been one or two before but nothing more

Than I could handle

Eyes of crystal china blue

Dresses swaying like a dancers move

I’d seen a Vegas chorus line before

I’d been around, I’d seen it all

But all I had to do was fall

I’m just a stubborn fool who works to rule

Any time I want to

But I couldn’t lie no I cant deny

I want you (I want you)

Soft and warm in the sun

You bring me home, wherever I run

You tell me all the things I can’t ignore

In whispered breath, come hither drawl

All I had to do was fall

I’ve been lost on this road

Like a motherless child

Knocked about and weary to the bone

You’re calling me calling me home

I can feel my heart turning around

You’re calling me calling me home

If the truth be told my heart was rolled

Well before I knew it

So with arms open wide I’ll fall through this sky

Like I was born to it

I stopped dancing to watch you move

You skirt hitched, discarded shoes

When the jasmine drifts through the door

I’m away, I’m in awe

All I had to do was fall
