Lyrics
The Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Do you know the meaning of? - this is love, this is love
(This is love, this is love
give me just a little shove
this love-)
This is
The end is nothing
And you begin with nothing much
It starts with something (you see something, you feel something)
A gentle touch, a vicious punch
Just lean on over (roll on over, please move over)
You will get a little shove
Over your shoulder
A whisper saying "This is love, this is love-"
This is
First we feel
Then we fall
Baby he is crawling
The world before his eyes unfoldds
He's hearing voices (teeling stories, dirty stories)
And Baby does as he is told
The night is falling (Baby's crawling, voices calling)
Mommy's holding Daddy close
Baby hears her calling
"Give me just a little shove, this is love -"
This is
First we feel
Then we fall
The Tower's falling
I think the dam's about to burst
The walls are falling (hear them rumble, see them tumble)
The light is blinding, you go first
It starts with nothing ( out of nothing, into nothing)
First and last, last and first
There's just one question
Do you know the meaning of? -this is love,, this is love
(This is love, this is love
give me just a little shove
this is love-)
This is
First we feel
Then we fall
