Story Behind The Song

This song was written for a Take Back the Night Rally in California. I wrote it in response to working with Battered Women's Shelters in the Sacramento area.

Lyrics

Tumblin Down written by Ty Chanson

Deep in your soul you send your feelings

You built your walls so high and wide

Hiding in there you thought no one could find you

Hiding in there so warm and so kind

You looked out your window it seemed so seldom

Sometimes I even saw your face

I often wished I could get to know you

I often wished I could share your space


Chorus - You were a woman caught in a cruel place

Where your heart was always bruised

I'd like to take you from that cruel place

and give you the love you need so much

and enter the walls you grew



I know it's hard to trust someone else

But I really care a lot for you

Just let me enter into your castle

Just let me help you to break through


Chorus - You were a woman caught in a cruel place

Where your heart was always bruised

I'd like to take you from that cruel place

and give you the love you need so much

and enter the walls you grew



Now here we are crushing your fortress

We're taking it down bit by bit

and I found such a beautiful woman

and I hope we don't leave a single brick!

and it came Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down

yes it came Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down

and I found such a beautiful woman

yes I found such a beautiful, beautiful woman

and it came Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down

yes it came Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down

Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down

Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down

Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin, Tumblin Down
