I'd be lying to you
If I told you that I didn't think of it
If I told you that I didn't want
To remember the name of her street
If I told you,
My love, that I didn't feel anything,
That I didn't hear any of those things left unsaid
That I didn't smile to her silences
I'd be lying to you
I'd be lying to you
Quick, I'm falling!
Will you be watching me ?
Will you be down there
To take me someplace I don't know
Someplace I don't go to ?
So, quick, I'm falling
Like a stringless puppet
Too free and too fragile
I grope for your hand in the clouds
To dispel her image
I'd be lying to you
If I told you to your face
That you've no reason to shed any tears
That this girl is just a fling
I'd be lying to you
And yet, I've been lying to me
For believing we were so safe
For picturing us stronger than life
But no one knows
About those things
Quick, I'm falling!
Will you be down there ?
Will you be waiting for me
To take me someplace I don't know,
To lead me back to you ?
So, quick, I'm falling like a stringless puppet
Our unfolding story
I grope for your hand in the clouds
Not to turn the page
I'd be lying to you
But who else could I tell
Without, this time, really betrying you ?
Silence is sometimes worse
Quick, I'm falling
Will you be down there ?
Will you pick me up
To take me someplace I don't know,
To lead me back to you ?
So, quick, I'm falling
Like a stealing bird
Shot there, through the heart
And who's still wondering
Why did he come round here.
