That's a long way to fall (Mary Gauthier) Harmony Vocals - Slaid Cleaves and Peter Rowan Acoustic Guitar - Mary Gauthier Electric Guitar, Bass, Mandocello, Weissenborn - Gurf Morlix Drums - Rick Richards A I felt the flames on my face D When I found the nerve to meet your eyes, so green E7 I stumbled towards your elegance A I tumbled, wide awake into a dream A And there you stood, so beautiful D Destiny seduces, after all E7 I fell into the fire A That's a long way to fall A You gave me strength to speak D When my voice was weak and words were hard to find E7 Your faith in me was solid and A it stood me up when I couldn't steady mine A All those times I cried at night You promised me it'd be all right A7 D You held me while my demons danced and crawled E7 I fell into your open arms A That's a long way to fall G D A A lo - ng way to fall G D A A lo - ng 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 A long way to fall, A long way to fall
