"The Fall" (©2008 Bob Beckley/Steffen Offermann) The days keep getting shorter Darkness comes too soon All the leaves have left the trees No sweet birds sing in tune The north wind's blowing colder Soon comes snow and ice But that's not near as chilling, dear As what is in your eyes (Chorus): Here comes the Fall Here comes the end We've lost it all We can't pretend Our summer love Took us so high But it was built Upon a lie And now we've got To pay for it all Here comes the Fall Here comes the Fall We used to talk for hours Snuggled up in bed But now we lie silently All covered up in dread A miracle could change things Turn our hearts around But in the glare of your icy stare There's not one to be found (Chorus): Here comes the Fall Here comes the end We've lost it all We can't pretend Our summer love Took us so high But it was built Upon a lie And now we've got To pay for it all Here comes the Fall Here comes the Fall (Bridge): There's no way I can blame you For this broken trust I'll have to live forever With what I did to us (Chorus): Here comes the Fall Here comes the end We've lost it all We can't pretend Our summer love Took us so high But it was built Upon a lie And now we've got To pay for it all Here comes the Fall Here comes the Fall
