Tumbledown Songtext
von Fish

It′s a matter of time, a figure of speech
That springs to mind throughout the day
As the minutes go by, a second thought
A moment lost, life takes away
And everything changes
Forever never lasts
There's no such thing as always
It′s all too soon the past

And tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down
Tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down

Rain guards with sickles
A tin man's bleeding heart
An end with no beginning
It's just a race without a start
That you′ll never win
That you cannot lose
So you fall apart


And tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down
Tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down

The tarot declares a motion made
A finger traps an empty glass
The needles begin to make their mark
You try to hide your leaving tracks
I dream of fire and water
Dream of deserts, dream of plans
Like mountains and castles
They′re only grains of sand

That tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down
Tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down

Rain guards with sickles
A tin man's bleeding heart
An end with no beginning
It′s just a race without a start
That you'll never win
That you cannot lose
So you fall apart


And tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down
Tumble down, tumble down
Tumble, tumble, tumble down
