Fall Awake - The Echoing Green

«It feels so cold»

I hear you say

I see your eyes are turning gray

And your tears, they hide away

So I can’t find you…

I feel you stand

I feel you sway

I feel you push your strength away

Surrendering to hopelessness' embrace

I can’t let you

If you…

Fall Awake

I’ll try to save you

Nothing can take you down to Fall awake

I’ll try to race you

I’ll try to chase you down

Fall awake

I’ll try to shake you

Nothing can bring you around to Fall awake

Nothing can faze you

Nothing can break you down

And your dreams, they feel displaced

And your kiss leaves a bitter taste

And my hands, they touch your face

But I can’t feel you

If I could wake up standing in your place

If I could kiss the teardrops from your face

And if I could dress your wounds in place

You know I’d try to…

Fall awake…

If you find you’re reaching for a line

Wishing for an ending to this crime

And if your heart can’t beat in time

Reach, reach… and take mine

Run away…

Fall awake…

(You might take

and you might chase

and you might shake

and I might waken…)

Fall awake…
