So Far To Fall

So Far To Fall
(Cheryl Wheeler/Amachrist Music OBO Penrod & Higgins, ASCAP)

I guess I can't stop you
No I guess you'll just leave
It's like I woke and found
You walking on sacred ground
Bringing a great dread down on me

And I know we've had hard times
But I thought we'd still try
Didn't we both intend
To see this through thick and thin
It wasn't just sink or swim this time

Well this ain't the love you swore to me
And this ain't the life it's supposed to be
And I don't know just how to hold on now
And it's so far to fall
From the warm light in your eyes
To nothin' at all

Guess I'll drop by and see my old friends
Maybe go off on my own
You speak from a heart so cold
To tell me your love's grown old
And just not enough to hold you down

Oh this ain't the love you swore to me
And this ain't the life it's supposed to be
And I don't know just how to old on now
And it's so far to fall
From the warm light in your eyes
To nothin' at all
