The Rise & The Fall

from Rough Rider by Adrian Niles

/

lyrics

A misguided soul strapping on wings
Tethered by waiting with a yearning heart
A man I don't know living my life
I'm staring into his soul at my fine art

You sit in a room and throw money around
With your foolish man and your learned clown
You say love is blind but I know it ain't
At least not the kind that you're throwing down

In the midnight glow there's a haunted sound
It say's, "its much too late, to turn back now."
But honey I've been with you through the rise and the fall
I've been with you through it all

Standing still but stood up tall
With my head in the clouds and my back to the wall
A rustling wind and a fire burns
I'm waiting for my good girl to call

I remember the make the model and the year
The mystery is how we got here
Just another refusal of a determined mind
Abandoned by love and fed by fear

It's alright if u want to, its ok if u don't
I'm sure we could turn things around but we won't

But honey I've been with you through the rise and the fall
I've been with you through it all
