The Fall That Pride Goes Before

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's dark and it's cold on the street where I stand And the pawnshop is closing its door In the window is the ring you once wore on your hand So this is the fall that pride goes before [Verse 2] I said that I'd see you come beg for it back But you just threw your ring on the floor It's the last thing I had but the clothes on my back So this is the fall that pride goes before [Verse 3] I stumbled and fell without your hand to hold Like a blind man that loses his cane I must have a bottle to keep off the cold And pretend I'm not going insane [Verse 4] Tomorrow somebody may give me a dime Then I'll keep it till I get three more And I'll buy me a bottle of forty cent wine So this is the fall that pride goes before [Outro] So this is the fall that pride goes before
