THE FALLEN - LYRICS
I’D LEAVE ME TOO
© Audrey Auld 1999
So your bags are packed
And by the door
I know after tonight
I won’t see you anymore
We’ve done all the crying
We’ve talked it through
Darling I don’t blame you
Cause I’d leave me too
Don’t think I don’t understand
Just how hard it’s been
If I could I’d leave me too
And start again
So darling you’re the lucky one
And I wish I were you
I won’t stop you when you go
Cause I’d leave me too
But there’s no door that I can slam
No I can’t walk away
I’ve been living with myself
Even I don’t want to stay
So darling you’re the lucky one
And I wish I were you
I won’t stop you when you go
Cause I’d leave me too
No I won’t stop you when you go
Cause I’d leave me too
BLACK CLOUD

I been feeding the crow of sorrow
He’s been hanging around my door
Pecking at the crumbs of misery
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
Crying out for more
One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl, four for a boy
I been walking old black dog
He’s been nipping around my heels
Chewing on the bones of my soul
Howling out for more
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a story that’s never been told
Black cloud
Rain on my parade
Black cloud
Black days
I been dreaming of a long black snake
He’s been chasing me till I wake
Poison deep in my veins
Crawling out my skin
One for sorrow, two for joy
Three for a girl, four for a boy
Five for silver, six for gold
Seven for a story that’s never been told
Black cloud
Rain on my parade
Black cloud
Black days
Black cloud
Rain on my parade
Black cloud
SHOVE IT
© Audrey Auld 2000 (APRA)
Well you can shove it cause I don’t love it
I’m about to go and get gone
The way you’re acting is so distracting
I’m thinking that before too long
I’ll be walking while you’re still talking ‘bout
Everything I’m doing wrong
You can shove it cause I don’t love it
I’m about to go and get gone
Ever since you met me
You were out to get me
And I wasn’t running too fast
I thought “here’s a cutie
A real sweet patootie
This one’s gonna last”
Along comes trouble
You burst my bubble
Now everything is coming apart
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
If you don’t get it
Then you’ll regret it
Cause you aint breaking my heart
So you can shove it cause I don’t love it
I’m about to go and get gone
The way you’re acting is so distracting
I’m thinking that before too long
I’ll be walking while you’re still talking ‘bout
Everything I’m doing wrong
You can shove it cause I don’t love it
I’m about to go and get gone
Well it aint shakin’
And I aint waiting
For you to wake up and see
What you’re blowing
Cause you aint going
To give your loving heart to me
You’ll be sorry
But I won’t worry
Cause I’m about already gone
I’ll be packing while you’re backtracking
And you’ll be hearing this song
Well you can shove it cause I don’t love it
I’m about to go and get gone
The way you’re acting is so distracting
I’m thinking that before too long
I’ll be walking while you’re still talking ‘bout
Everything I’m doing wrong
You can shove it cause I don’t love it
I’m about to go and get gone
TO THE BONE

Don’t stir the fire of loneliness
Cause I been gone too long
The love I feel for you darlin’ goes
Right to the bone
I’d swim the ocean deep and wide
To come to you alone
The pain of never seeing you cuts
Right to the bone
When it’s heaven here on earth
And nothing can go wrong
Is when it seems to hurt the most
Right to the bone
If I could fly I’d spread my wings
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
Cause where you are is home
And then you’d know my love for you goes
Right to the bone
So keep a candle burning bright
It’s there that I belong
Remember darling my love for you goes
Right to the bone
Don’t stir the fire of loneliness
Cause I been gone too long
The love I feel for you darlin’ goes
Right to the bone
Remember darling my love for you goes
Right to the bone
JELLYROLL

Well it must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that
Yeah it must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that
Love my daddy, baby he’s so fat
Cooking in the kitchen to keep him satisfied
Cooking in the kitchen to keep him satisfied
Loves what I give him
Long as it’s southern fried
He sits on the table, cause he broke the chair
My fat daddy’s gonna shake it everywhere
It must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that
My big daddy, he’s so big and fat
He’s my fatty, look at that jellyroll
He’s my fatty, look at that jellyroll
The more he eats the faster my money goes
He’s built for comfort, not for speed
My fat daddy gives me everything I need
It must be jelly cause jam don’t shake like that
My big daddy, baby he’s so fat
Love my daddy, baby he’s fat
Oh butterball!
WITHOUT YOU
© Audrey Auld 1999 (APRA)
When dreams come to haunt me in the middle of the night
I reach for you cause I need to hold you tight
It’s then that I remember why the dreams come
They’re the only part of you
Still holding on
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
Still holding on
To your memory
Still holding on
To what’s left of me
Lonely and forsaken, nothing means a thing
Waiting in the emptiness for the phone to ring
While my heart is sinking like the evening sun
Your memory’s the only thing
Still holding on
Still holding on
To what might have been
Still holding on
To what’s left of me
I don’t have a future living in the past
All the love you promised didn’t last
I watched without speaking your love slip away
There’s nothing left to cling to
But yesterday
Still holding on
To your memory
Still holding on
To what’s left of me
Still holding on
Still holding on
I know you’re gone
But I’m still holding on
Although you’re gone
I’m still holding on
TOO FAR TO FALL
© Audrey Auld 1998 (APRA)
Don’t tell me to smile
I’m doing fine
My heart’s been broken
Too many times
And don’t ask my number
It’s best not to call
If you pick me up I’ll have
Too far to fall
Once I was happy
But that was back when
I believed in forever
But I won’t again
Now I’m used to sorrow
I don’t mind at all
When I go to pieces it’s not
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
Too far to fall
Down on the bottom
It’s where I belong
I won’t have to go far
When love goes wrong
So don’t try to cheer me
Or make me feel glad
I’m happy when I’m
Lonely and sad
You’ll go just like
The others before
When you let me down it’s not
Too far to fall
So just leave me down, it’s not
Too far to fall
STILL HOLDING ON

When dreams come to haunt me in the middle of the night
I reach for you cause I need to hold you tight
It’s then that I remember why the dreams come
They’re the only part of you
Still holding on
Still holding on
To your memory
Still holding on
To what’s left of me
Lonely and forsaken, nothing means a thing
Waiting in the emptiness for the phone to ring
While my heart is sinking like the evening sun
Your memory’s the only thing
Still holding on
Still holding on
To your memory
Still holding on
To what’s left of me
I don’t have a future living in the past
All the love you promised didn’t last

Still holding on
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
Still holding on
I know you’re gone
But I’m still holding on
Although you’re gone
I’m still holding on
MISSING YOU
© Audrey Auld 1998 (APRA)
Train whistle moans in the distance
Birds cry out across the bay
The night hangs heavy without ending
Filled with the ghost of where you lay
The house stands quiet as a tombstone
Rain falls steady like my tears
Somewhere out there you’re leaving
The echo of goodbye is all I hear
Then I get to missing you
And wishing you were here
Longing for the tenderness
I felt when you were near
Then I get to crying
Crying all night long
Then I get to missing you
But you’re so far gone
The rain on the water in the morning
It’s winter in my heart and I’m cold
You left a shell and a memory
Took with you your love and my soul
Then I get to missing you
And wishing you were here
Longing for the tenderness
I felt when you were near
Then I get to crying
Crying all night long
Then I get to missing you
But you’re too far-gone
SONG FOR CLAX
© Audrey Auld 1999 (APRA)
You lived your life
Like a moth around a flame
Taking all the chances
And going back again
The flame finally got you
Threw yourself right in
Turned your back on Mother Nature
If music is the food of love
THE FALLEN - LYRICS
Then why where you so thin?
Banging on a lonely drum
And hating everything
When in dreams you come to me
With pictures of the future
It’s safe in the arms of Mother Nature
And though I never cried I’m crying now
For all the sadness that you taught me
And though I never sang I’m singing now
With all the wonder that you brought me
The very thing that got me through
Is just what did you in
I saw you sleep with open eyes
Way before the end
When the sun beat down
It could not warm your skin
Cause you were leaving Mother Nature
And though I never cried I’m crying now
For all the sadness that you taught me
And though I never sang I’m singing now
With all the wonder that you brought me
You lived your life
Like a moth around a flame
Taking all the chances
And going back again
When the sun beat down on you
It could not warm your skin
Cause you were leaving Mother Nature
Leaving the arms of Mother Nature
