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

Slotogenic
I really like the layered guitar parts you have on here. They intertwine
very nicely and are recorded very well. The lyrics are well written and
flow with the music. Great job!
