We All Fall Down

lyrics

We All Fall Down

You were sitting by a river
Lost inside of days gone by
Something came and made you shiver
Something came and made you cry

How much would you beg or borrow
For it to be the way it was
Would you pay the wage of sorrow
Pretty is as pretty does

Life’s a bed of roses
Where the magic comes and grows
Hushabye, we all fall down
Humbled as we tumble
Over ruins that have crumbled
Hushabye, without a sound

Did you see your Mother’s image
Painted in a pale, blue sky
Did you see the Painter in it
Clean a brush in tears you cry

Life’s a bed of roses
Where the magic comes and grows
Hushabye, we all fall down
Humbled as we tumble
Over ruins that have crumbled
Hushabye, without a sound
