The World Is Falling Down - Jim James

There are some folks I used to know

Who used to smile and say hello

And spin the world and turn the page

Entertaining from the stage

But father time forever true

Loves its own and me and you

And disappear just like the sun

When the day is done

The world is falling down, hold my hand

It’s a lonely sound, hold my hand

We’ll follow the breeze and go like the wind

And look for a place where the willows bend

Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand

Hold my hand, hold my hand

Summer’s gone and winter’s here

We had a lot of rain this year

The news is really very sad

The time is late, the fruit is bad

The morning’s come and roosters crow

But people have nowhere to go

And disappear just like the sun

When the day is done

The world is falling down, hold my hand

It’s a lonely sound, hold my hand

We’ll follow the sun and live for the day

And look for a place where the children play

Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand

Hold my hand, hold my hand

Oh, the world is falling down, hold my hand

Hold my hand, hold my hand
