Fall Down with You
Written and Performed by

Lyrics by
Phil Beaumont
Time is a treasure that you won’t track down
Not a place to run to
It’s a touch or a smile that lasts just a while,
not a place to run to
It’s where I fall, with you
There’s a stranger in the way; A ghost for a day
That hides a bit of you
It’s an untrodden trail that leads its way to you
It’s where I fall down, I fall down with you
Where I fall down, fall down with you
There’s a word on a page that is written in a way
That leads its way through
To an actor on a stage, it’s yet another play
That ends a bit too soon
Stay another day
Play a little while
Hide yourself
Take a little time
It’s a breath, not a light, that guides my way to you
It’s how I fall down, I fall down with you
It’s where I fall down with you
Time is a pleasure that we won’t have long
Not a game to rush through
So break another smile, stay a little while
Hide yourself, take a little time,
Let the river inside rush for a while in you
And let me fall down with you

Lyrics by

Caught up in the landslide
Caught up in your rain
I thought that when I found you I’d be dancing once again
The hours spent to love you
the hours spent to try
truth is now I found you, I’ll go hiding for a while
All the notes I wrote you
I’d write them once again
Written for a stranger, who soon became a friend
Tell it to me all night
Tell me once again
Tell me I’ll be alright
Just Tell me anything
All the complications
All the lines were said
All the iterations of better plan ahead
I was made to love you
I always meant to try
Tied a thread around you, let’s go running for a while
Try to find your way home tonight
It’s been a long day
And both of us know it
It doesn’t matter at all, she said,
It’s been a long day
You’re starting to show it
You can’t make sense of it all
It doesn’t matter at all
You can’t make sense of it all…
Find yourself in another place
All of the time you’re just running away
Find yourself in another phase
It’s always, it’s always, the same...
It doesn’t matter at all
Try to paint yourself another face
Before all colors are fading away
Always temper what you ought to say
It’s always the same
It doesn’t matter at all

Lyrics by
Phil Beaumont
Put your eyes to the mirror
Now, who could that be?
Who’s torn out the pages
From the books that you read?
You took all you wanted.
Did you take what you need?
Did you leave some for others?
Because there’s others in need
There are prophets among us
That we don’t need to see
And though they stand among us,
They come, they come,
With no guarantees
So, you line up your profits
And plant your little seed
And you claim it’s an honest
Living you need
You line up before us
Do we look good on our knees?
As you’re making a promise,
It’s certainly not, nor never guaranteed
Eye for an eye was all that I could see
I was advised that all advice was free
Never guaranteed
Put your eyes to the mirror
Now who could that be?
Making claims like a prophet
For all the troubles we breed
Put a light on the pages
For they’re getting hard to read
When the words blow away
They come, they come with no guarantees
Eye for an eye was all that I could see
I was advised that all advice was free, but never guaranteed
