Lyrics

Fallen © 2003 Kaplan

Hands as big as worlds
Printless and ancient
Mourns like a thief

Creates for me a ledge
Something I can fall to
Something I can reach

An empty stage
A wavering light
Lived life like a desert night

I might be a tear
To redden your cheek
To stifle whatever scream
You could muster
Sprawling in the dew that had
Fallen from your eyes.

Faith without a home
Unfounded and faceless
Grounded in dusk.

Creates for me a ledge
Somewhere I can fall to
Something not to need

And so it begins
To unwind
Where were you a minute ago?

I might be a tear
To redden your cheek
To stifle whatever scream
You could muster
Sprawling in the dew that had
Fallen from your eyes.

And if not my voice
Then my words are in tune
If given the choice
They’d tear through this room
And rebuild all that’s fallen
All that’s fallen.

Hands as big as worlds
Printless and ancient
Settles my grief

Creates for me a ledge
Something I can fall to
Somewhere I can sleep

And so it begins
To unwind
Where was I a minute ago?

I might be a tear
To redden your cheek
To stifle whatever scream

And if not my voice
Then my words are in tune
If given the choice
They’d tear through this room
And rebuild all that’s fallen
All that’s fallen.
