I heard a change in your voice,
Talking today on the telephone.
You tell me everything's fine.
I look out the window
And the sun is going down.

I'm watching you falling.
So close to you
But I can not change a thing.
Just watching you falling,
Falling again.

You keep things looking the same.
If I didn't know you I couldn't tell.
The bravest person I know.
I walk down the road
And the leaves are turning brown.

I'm watching you falling.
So close to you
But I can not change a thing.
Just watching you falling,
Falling again.

One day it's all going to end,
And you'll leave all this fear and pain behind.
I'll never understand.
Sit by the river
And time keeps flowing by.

I was watching you falling.
So close to you
But I couldn't change a thing.
Just kept watching you falling,
Falling again.
