I Can't Be Alone After The Fall

© 2013 Mark Cote

Hello Mr. heartbreak haven't seen you in a while
I see your kind never goes out of style
we met so many years ago
to the tune of a slamming door

I could tell you about it but you wrote the book
the how I should feel the how I should look
you're not the one I want around
not many choices in a one horse town

pull me up
give me hope
toss me a line
sing to me
play for me
or I bleed in this wine

(chorus) I might drown in this drink
                  the more I swim the more I sink
                  the music I play may make me deaf
                  thoughts of love and the day it left
                  spinning like a leaf out in the fall
                  I can't be alone after the fall

alone in thoughts of roads I've been on
the years I have traveled the miles are now gone
the yesterdays are in each tear
the empty nights are always here

(chorus)
(instrumental)

pull me up
give me hope
toss me a line
sing to me
play for me
or I bleed in this wine

(chorus)
