Lyrics

a) Falling Down?

Too many days in the sun
Planning all the things not done
The shadows will accumulate
And the moments tick away  

Wishing that I’d begun
To find my North Meridian
Sooner or later the diary pages are ripped from out the shell

Falling Down  - I won't last forever
Falling Down - I'll have to go away

Green, green were the valleys
And endless were the songs
The gaps are all too frequent now
And the pauses last too long

See the lights on the distant screen
March towards the West unseen
While children play at growing up
And innocence fades away

But not another sound!
Or wake the sleeper softly bound
The cliff tops call the waves to clash
And the rainbow fears things cannot last
The storm clouds gather and the air grows still
Locked within the daffodil
A back beat count and the rain will come
To wash the fears away

Falling Down – I won’t last forever
Falling Down – I’ll have to go away

b) Rising Up!

Chorus: Oh! In the midst of Life

I can’t see where we’re coming from and
I can’t see where we’ll go
Locked within a mortal cycle, fixed to ebb and flow
Feel the moment, catch the wind and hold it in your hand
For all the things you worry about are waves upon the sand

Look up at the heavens and then point towards a star
Then pull that body down to Earth and fix it where you are
We dance around the fires when the nights are deepest black
Holding back the curtains and the ashes and the sack
