Once she lay open like a road   Carved apart the madness that I stumbled from   But she fell away   She fell away      Shed me like a skin   She fell away   Left me holding everything, oh   Oh      Seems impossible to me now   Seems impossible to me now   Seems impossible to me now   But once the road lay open like a girl      And we drank and laughed and threw the bottle over   But she fell away   She fell away      I did not see the cracks form   As I knelt to pray   I did not see the crevice yawn, no   No   No      Sometimes   At night I feel the end it is at hand   My pistol going crazy in my hand   For she fell away   O she fell away      Walked me to the brink   And fell away   I did not see her fall   To better days      Sometimes I wonder was she ever really there at all, yeah   Yes, she fell away   She fell away   Oh, she fell away   Oh, she fell away
