David Wilcox - Farther to Fall lyrics

rate me

from Home Again

..............................................

Walking on the railroad rails

Leaning into one another

Balancing so we won't fail

Into timeless friends and lovers

We're still holding hands

Past the place I quite before

On this high trestle span

The distance down is what

We must ignore

Chorus

Balance is no harder after all

Out across this bridge so tall

Balance is no harder

Its just that you've got farther

Now you've just got farther to fall

Walking on the railroad rails

Out across this deep commitment

I can feel your finger nails

Hanging on to old resentment

And I miss that easy smile

Lately its a tight-wire frown

But we've come so many miles

We can make it if we don't look down

Chorus

Farther to fall

Looking all the way down

Maybe you'll drown in it all

But you like to walk this rail for two

As long as words like "wife" aren't said

But something comes over you

When you see that span of life ahead

Now you make your choice

Will you turn around and walk away

The tremble in your voice

You turn to me, smile and say

Hey!

Chorus
