Falling Down

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three, four [Verse 1] Before a record of the sunset After the fires before the celeste Had keyed and rung her chimey two-step From the mountain sprung the forest [Verse 2] Spirit wings for flight is all wound Language from a lip yet unfound The hour drowned, the leaves have spread their rounds Before the borders ever knew ground [Chorus] I keep on falling down Keep on falling down Keep on falling down [Verse 3] So lo in crept to infect As they wept and slept, then ingest Things that men prefer to forget Than peer into a glass of reflect [Bridge] Am I seen to all my dead kin? When death floats near Are they the ones that shout in my ear? [Verse 4] Confederate river ghosts come lie down Inhale the earth's breath, that's your bed now You're of hummingbird and quasar The cannonball has flown its arc now [Outro] To be found by the plow Years from now Keep on falling down
