Phoenix Falling Songtext
von Maura O’Connell

Every day she walks down to the river with me

"I will never be young anymore," she says
"How ′bout you?
Are we the same or
Do you have one more
Reason to stay here
Chipping away at the time?"

She's been wrestling with questions that offer no choice

Conversations that drown in the monotone of her voice
Oh, why do I keep chipping away at
The darkness that fills every day with
No change in sight anyway?


Phoenix falling, the angels are calling me home
Children come running to
See the lady who stands on the bridge
Will she jump?
Or will she die all alone in the night?
Just the tears in her eyes and the dust on her clothes
Jane Doe

Say a prayer for the mothers who never return
Bless the days when it′s all you can do not to crash and burn
Oh, why, why, she says, am I alone when
Multitudes crowd all around me
Sun shining bright everywhere?

Phoenix falling, the angels are calling me home
Children come running to
See the lady who stands on the bridge
Will she jump?
Or will she die all alone in the night?
Just the tears in her eyes and the dust on her clothes
Jane Doe


Phoenix falling, the angels are calling me home
Children come running to
See the lady who stands on the bridge
Will she jump?
Or will she die all alone in the night?
Just the tears in her eyes and the dust on her clothes
Jane Doe
