Mary Gauthier - A Long Way To Fall

(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
