Float and Fall Songtext
von Meklit Hadero

One, two, three
Well, the sound of your step reminded me of the snow
That winter ′fore I left for good
And the knock that you knocked had an accidental rhythm, yeah
You asked me for tea and I knew you liked it sweet
I remember, with two sugars
I am happy, baby, to see you again
Again, again

The wrinkles when you smile are like rings upon a tree
You reminded me of plane rides, baby, of take-offs and landings
And watching the earth from the sky
Well, a moment of dark, a moment of light
Oh, well, memory dances strange and slow
A moment of darkness and of light
I alight, you alight
We drift and we float and we fall


In the hour before the evening arrives
And the air smells suddenly of the rain
Well, I wait on the step, on the stoop of your house
The house that you grew up in
And the air, and the air turns suddenly cold
And the sky prepares itself for night

I know every person who's passing me by
Their history is also mine

Well, a moment of dark, a moment of light
Oh, well, memory dances strange and slow
A moment of darkness and of light
I alight, you alight
We drift and we float and we fall

Well, a moment of dark, a moment of light
Oh, well, memory dances strange and slow
A moment of darkness and of light
I alight, you alight
We drift and we float and we fall

Well, a moment of dark, a moment of light
Oh, well, memory dances strange and, strange and slow
A moment, a moment of dark, darkness and of light
I alight, you alight
We drift and we float and we fall
