Lyrics
The Fall Stacy Swinford
It's a miracle these days
To keep the vows you made
Seems its over before It even begins
So after twenty odd years of working it out
He thought he knew what it was all about
How could it be now he's lookin at the end
And it's a hard life as you may know
When you've come to find its over
He don't know which way to go at all
But he'll be signing the final papers
And it'll be over come September
He's got all summer
now to get ready for the fall.
She married young she'll admit
But that doesn't have anything to do with it
Cause they've had a lot of time to build this life
And she always knew what she was meant to be
But now he's breakin the chains off and settin her free
All she ever wanted to be was somebody's wife
CHORUS (with she)
Living a million miles apart
Under the same roof for way too long
It's been a long hard lesson learned.
The flames of passion that once burned bright
Are just dying embers fading into the night
They strike the match and the bridge burns...
CHORUS (with they)
And it's a hard life as you may know
Getting ready for another tomorrow
They don't know which way to go at all
But they'll be signing the final papers
And they both know it wont be easy
They've got all summer now
To get ready for the fall
