lyrics

I keep my eyes closed
Holding my breath
The leaves pass on by
Unknowing, unthinking, what's best
In this world, in this world

I can believe
What I can touch
I trust in my hands
But I'm falling, I'm falling, I'm falling, falling

You pushed away with nothing to say
With arms that are useless and strange
And what has begun will not be undone
By something as simple as words

All that you said
And all that you gave
By cup or by teaspoon
Was measured and weighed
To be fair, to be fair

Tangerine peels
Curled in the sun
Nobody woke me
The parade had moved on, it moved on, it moved on

You pushed away with nothing to say
With arms that are useless and strange
And what has begun will not be undone
By something as simple as words

And you claim the sky is not falling
Your hands covering your head
'cause it's more fun to believe in
The fairy-tale ending instead

Repeat 1st verse
