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
