"As I Fall" lyrics - ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO

ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO
"As I Fall"

I watch you walk away from me
It's all that's about you
And as I lean into this fall
I'll always surround you -

As I fall, all around you
Voices call, but what: can I do?

A circle burnt into the sand
Is someone without you
Who placed a ring upon your hand
To try and disguise you -

As I fall, all around you
Voices call, but what: can I do?

The things I meant to say
All seem to slip away -

The forward motion of this fall
Is only because you -
Smile as you slip yourself on me
The danger becomes you -

As I fall, all around you
Voices call, but what: can I do?
