Creating Connections

Verse

Stumbled outside into the rain
Try to wash off all the pain
Sounds of your music
Run through my head
Your southern rock’n’roll is never dead

Arguments we used to have
Echo in my soul like a bottomless cave
Good and bad come back to me
Married so young at twenty-three 

Chorus 

Your songs lift me 
When I’m falling down
Your songs lift me
When I’m falling down
Your songs lift me 
When I’m falling down 
When I’m falling, falling,
when I’m falling down

Verse

Saw you yesterday on a TV show 
Recorded live so long ago 
You led your band with such power and grace
You left our home without a trace 

Bridge

We used to dance late into the night 
Lying close with such delight 
Had our kids 
We grew apart 
I smile in the light 
I cry in the dark

They say you died alone in a hotel room
Sometime late in June 
The kids cried for you mamma, morning and night 
All I could do is hold them tight

Chorus 

Your songs lift me 
When I’m falling down 
Your songs lift me 
When I’m falling down 

Your songs lift me 
When I’m falling down 
When I’m falling, falling, 
when I’m falling down
