Fall Around Me

FALL AROUND ME (Copyright 1994, John A. McKeag) The day it sinks behind the trees as I watch it from my window- It’s left me with these fallen leaves as a cold Winter wind blows- And it takes me slowly down- To where the rain falls ‘round- All around, fall around Me – Evening fell as the crowd had gone with the afternoon- I sat there yearning all alone Drawing down the Moon- And She takes me Slowly down- Down the road that I choose- And the Truth that I’ve found- And the friends that I lose – All around – they fall around – me Fall around me – And my love Falls like Winter on the town- Soft as snow- Drifting ‘round And ‘round the frozen water – Take me down – down – down- To where there is no Answer- -and all the broken shadows drift out to sea… -And Loneliness falls like leaves As they play outside my window- But all this sorrow can’t explain Why the cold Winter wind blows….. … And it takes me slowly down- To where the rain falls ‘round- All around, fall around Me – - Fall around me – - Fall around me………….
