Fall Too Fast - The Wood Brothers

I have been to close

To that flame of desire

I have spoken too soon

Words full of fire full of fire

I have fallen too fast

From the top of the tree

Bruised by every branch

Never landing on my feet on my feet

Like a fool I’m willing

To take that fall again

Don’t let me fall too fast

I want to fall slowly

I want my fall to last

I want my fall to last

I have drawn too much

From that fountain of tears

And I drowned many times

I was warned but didn’t hear didn’t hear

I have spoke too much

From a pipe made of bones

I will hide for awhile

Then will tumble like a stone

Like a stone

Like a fool I’m willing

To take that fall again

Don’t let me fall too fast

I want to fall slowly

I want my fall to last

I want my fall to last

I want my fall to last

Now I’m flying too high

With these wings made of wax

And I’m bound for the plane

But I won’t turn back wont turn back

Don’t let me fall too fast

I want to fall slowly

I want to fall slowly

I want to fall slowly
