Fall Too Fast

I have been too close to that flame of desire
I have spoken too soon, with words full of fire, full of fire
I have fallen too fast from the top of love’s tree
Bruised by every branch, never landing on my feet, on my feet

Like a fool I am willing to take that fall again
Don’t let me fall too fast
I wanna fall slowly, I want my fall to last
I want my fall to last

I have drunk too much from that fountain of tears
And I’ve drowned many times, I was warned but didn’t hear, didn’t hear
I have smoked too much from a pipe made of bone
I was high for a while, then I tumbled like a stone, like a stone

Like a fool I am willing to take that fall again
Don’t let me fall too fast
I wanna fall slowly, I want my fall to last
I want my fall to last
I want my fall to last

I fly too high with these wings made of wax
And I'm bound for the flame, but I won’t turn back, I won’t turn back

Don’t let me fall too fast
I wanna fall slowly
I wanna fall slowly
I wanna fall slowly
