Breaking Your Fall

Chris Whitley

Composed by: Chris Whitley
The horizon pales 
when she hits the ground 
sirens and scaffolds 
all coming down 
under the weight of heaven 
if only devotion 
could rise on a word 
then you could stumble 
never be hurt 
you could let go 

Breaking your fall 
Breaking your fall 

The pilots of pleasure 
your weatherman 
never could push you 
far as I can 
they just let you fall 
while buildings and bridges 
just crash and burn 
it's only a cloudbank 
bursting in turn 
they were made to come down 

Breaking your fall 
Breaking your fall 

Fault lines and failures 
angels and all 
follow her footholds 
breaking her fall 
it's alchemical
