Lyrics
Fall Of '82
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.
I do relate to you in so many ways
But i didn't go through what you must have in those early days
You had to be strong at such a very young age
A new life from lemonade
So won't you listen to me now
There's something i never told you
And i'm about to try
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
And you were right, so i'm thanking you
So won't you listen to me now
There's something i never told you
And i'm about to try
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
Footholds eroding
Had you never been my friend
I wouldn't be quite what you
I wouldn't be the man i am
Sister you've known me
Lost in a strange world
What has it shown me
What has it gone through
Sister you've known me
Been lost in a strange world
But has it shown me
What has it gone through
October chill in that old dusty town
Halloween came, i was still feeling down
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
Your boy is losing count
Maybe try the lost and found
