Gloria Deluxe - A Long Way Down lyrics

And I'm falling, and I'm falling, and it's a long way down And it fills me with desire, and it burns like fire If I could be strong as water, as gentle and as smooth As full of danger and of beauty Then I would let your arms around me And my own around you But I'm falling, yes I'm falling, and it's a long way down And I don't know what'll happen when I reach the ground And I don't know if I am ready to be broken again Though the more times my heart's shot through The more holes the wind can blow through And it makes a pretty sound Ever deeper are the colors the longer I'm around Ever fuller is my cup and it's overflowing now If I was strong as water and as deep as the sea I would let myself inside you And I would let you within me And I'd let you within me But on the other side of gladness there's the awful sound Of the wailing and the grieving over the loss of what was found I should be wanting some kind of spell to quell this violence in me Instead I find myself longing to open up my heart So you will have the best of me
