Description:
This is song about the notion of woman as both the creator and destroyer using references from various mythologies.Lyrics:
Fall Alone I think I might forget your name babe If I could just recall a trace Of the plan I misconceived babe A memory without a face In the footsteps of our parting And in the silence of our lies Scattered sand maps our footprints Under the bruise of tortured skies I may never walk that shoreline Pebble on stone, wet with weed Do you remember the taste at all babe Of a second birth and a salty seed Well a stone can skip on the water And water can wear down stone You can cry as much as you want to But your tears will always fall alone Like the memory of an ocean’s Distant maelstrom grinding sand Turning me in that whirlwind Into the dust of another man And in the taste of spindrift darkness Broken bones are blown ashore To be shaped again by moonlight Into the word that was before Then I turned back towards town babe So much smaller I recall I heard the tide that was your heartbeat In that midnight water fall Well a stone can skip on the water And water can wear down stone You can cry as much as you want to But your tears will always fall alone © Fall Alone music by Tom Fairnie, words by Tom Fairnie & Bob Shields March 2002 |
