Mary Gauthier - Falling Out Of Love lyrics

rate me

It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss

The bathroom's down the hall, and it smells like piss

It's another night in another town

And I'm another blues traveler headed down

Falling out of love is a dangerous thing

With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings

With its birds of prey circling overhead

Casting vulture shadows on barren beds

Let me out, set me free

Let me out, set me free

The clock inside the church bell tower

Rings your name every hour

I see your face, I touch your hair

Then the ringing fades and nobody's there

Falling out of love is a treacherous thing

With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring

With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies

Sacrilegious hungry sighs

Let me out, set me free

Let me out, set me free

I walk the streets, and I taste the dirt

I am flesh and blood, and my body hurts

I search your silence looking for a crack

For a passageway where I can pull you back

Falling out of love is a tedious thing

With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing

Its time to serve and its sentence set

With its warm blood and cold sweat

Let me out, set me free

Let me out, set me free
