western sky on fire...


Shirley Falling Down

Tonight I saw the western sky on fire
The sun was slowly sinking down reflected in your eyes
And in its final moment I heard the word "goodbye"
As somewhere through the night a star was falling

My heart is surely falling down
It seems so hard that love could leave me
Down here on the ground
Is anybody listening
Is anyone around
Would catch a heart who's falling down

Darkness soon will cover frozen ground
I raise my collar to the night and slowly turn around
For out here in the stillness
Love leaves without a sound
Tho' high upon the wind I hear it calling

My heart is surely falling down
It seems so hard that love would leave me
Down here on the ground
Is anybody listening
Is anyone around
Would catch a heart who's falling down
Would catch a heart who's falling down
