(Mary Gauthier)      I felt the flames on my face   When I found the nerve to meet your eyes, so green   I stumbled towards your elegance   I tumbled, wide awake into a dream      And there you stood, so beautiful   Destiny seduces, after all   I fell into the fire   That's a long way to fall      You gave me strength to speak   When my voice was weak and words were hard to find   Your faith in me was solid and   it stood me up when I couldn't steady mine   All those times I cried at night   You promised me it'd be all right   You held me while my demons danced and crawled   I fell into your open arms   That's a long way to fall      A long way to fall   A long way to fall      I never should have drifted   I never should have left you all alone   I don't know what comes over me   Looks like I'll always be   the troubled kid that runs away from home   I reached for you the other night   You rolled away and moved against the wall   I fell into the space between us   That's a long way to fall      A long way to fall   A long way to fall      I got no one to hold on to and   I'm sinking slowly to my knees   I might learn to pray down here   or maybe I'll beg you baby, please   But you stare at me with marble eyes   And I don't think I've ever felt this small   I've fallen out of your good graces   That's a long way to fall      A long way to fall, A long way to fall
