From the recording The Reason We Fall
Lyrics
Ain’t it a crime?
I heard we had run out of time
But I’ve wasted hours on a rhyme
And it’s gotten me nothing
But I didn’t mind
My head and my heart in a bind
I stepped away stoic and blind
And it gave our love nothing
Oh, oh, oh, this love is a maze
But when I see you, I see who we were
Before I fell in a haze
And I dream of later days
Days like tomorrow
That sound like the past
With love in a city
Where life didn’t last
Days in the twilight
Just watching the sky
Through the rain
From the clouds
Onto birds flying by
Days with my lady
And her with her fella
With dragon fruit spread
Thin on bread from La Mela
I know it’s a dream
Oh, but these days
A dream’s not so bad
If it gives you what you had
Rain—let it pour
We cry out in vain through the war
It won’t be the same as before
But it’s better than nothing
If you opened a door
I’d throw my heart, cold, on the floor
We know we’re not kids anymore
So we just might find something
Oh, oh, oh, this love is a maze
But when I see you, I see who we were
Before I fell in a haze
And I dream of later days
Days like tomorrow
That sound like the past
With love in a city
Where life didn’t last
Days in the twilight
Just watching the sky
Through the rain
From the clouds
Onto birds flying by
Days with my lady
And her with her fella
With dragon fruit spread
Thin on bread from La Mela
I know it’s a dream
Oh, but these days
A dream’s not so bad
Oh, the story goes:
A lover left alone to hurt leaves it too.
I held it in, but holding on
I think we both knew
It’s simple to say, but if we’d met today
Maybe we would’ve found our way through
Through the maze
On to later days
Days like tomorrow
That sound like the past
With love in a city
Where life didn’t last
Days in the twilight
Just watching the sky
Through the rain
From the clouds
Onto birds flying by
Days with my lady
And her with her fella
With dragon fruit spread
Thin on bread from La Mela
I know it’s a dream
Oh, but these days
A dream’s not so bad
I know it’s a dream
Oh, but these days
A dream’s not so bad
If it gives you what you had
