The Fall Songtext
von Solomon Burke

A picture on the wall
A memory that′s all
Smiling down from a gilded frame
So proud before the fall
A face secure and strong
A world where nothing goes wrong
But a flame can burn out
And things don't turn out right
And everything is gone
Now there′s shadows on the door
And the footprints across a dusty floor
The gardens overflow and overgrow
This old house is no more a home
And everything is gone
What happens when dreams get shattered
And fall to pieces on the ground Well to some folks it really doesn't matter
And to some folks it just shuts down, just shuts down
The life that everyone craves
From the cradle to the grave
Sometimes it's hard to know
How to figure out what to let go
For what in the world can we really save
Oh what happens when a dream gets shattered
And time slowly slows down to a crawl
What′s left when everyone scatters
Is a memory, a memory that′s all, that's all
That′s all after the fall
Oh after the fall
After the call of the fall
From the picture on the wall
