...And So You Fell - David Ford

Well, nothing broke your fall and so you fell

Down like concrete angels

Like a nickel to the well

Dragging a wish for silence

And friends all stand around

And shake their heads and ask how it could be

That nothing broke your fall and so you fell

Well, nothing broke your fall and so you fell

A heart so heavy with the drink

Like Ophelia to the deep

In truth more strange than fiction

Before the morning starts again

All desperate times and desperate men

Well, nothing broke your fall and so you fell

Well, nothing broke your fall and so you fell

Well, Heaven hold your broken spirit now

If that’s what you believed in

From a house of brittle things

And from a room of splinters

Still tiny minded thoughts I think

Someone else will fix my drinks tonight

Since nothing broke your fall and so you fell

Well, nothing broke your fall and so you fell
