Lyrics
WHEN YOU FALL
As you day-dream your life away.
Close your eyes search for the way.
How could it all go so wrong?
Why is it always you a-lone?
Don?t you know every-thing?
Aren?t you in control?
The pressure just makes you scream.
Life in the world takes its toll!
You think you do it by yourself.
Ask no one you need no help.
You?re the master of your domain.
Climb that ladder & take the pain.
But every night?s spent on your own.
With nothin? to show, nothin? to share.
Face in the mirror is all alone.
A man with no hope who doesn?t care.
CHORUS:
But just reach out your hand to me, & I?ll catch you when you fall?????
Open up your heart to me, & I?ll be there for all??time (spoken).
As you day-dream your life away.
Close your eyes search for the way.
How could it all have gone so wrong?
Why is it always you a-lone?
You think you do it all by yourself.
You ask no one you need no help.
You?re the master of your domain.
So climb that ladder & take the pain.
But just reach out your hand to me, & I?ll catch you when you fall?????
Open up your heart to me, & I?ll be there for all??time (spoken).
