lyrics

Falling and Fading

Lay down awhile, try to fall asleep
I wish you luck in that regard
You’ve been up, for days on end
Sometimes surviving’s pretty hard

You say you only drink, when you feel depressed
You’ve been drinking all the time
You said you only sleep
When you’re not possessed
You’ve been looking like a crime

You’ve been falling and fading
Falling well I can’t pull you through
Falling and fading
Falling, well, I’ve been falling too

Sit back awhile, try to get some rest
You need to find your strength alone
When you come, to the final test
I hope you find your way back home

You’ve been falling and fading
Falling while I can’t pull you through
Falling and fading
Falling, I’ve been falling too

(Jan Gregor)
