Once she lay open like a road  Carbed 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  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  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 th the brink  The fell away  I did not see her fall  To better days  Sometimes I wonder was she ever there at all  She fell away  She fell away  She fell away
