About

This song by British folk musician Will Varley is inspired by the real story of a man who fell from a landing airplane in 2013. One of the most gut wrenching details of it was that the man died on his birthday, and the reason he was on the plane was that he searched a better life. The song explores...

The Man Who Fell To Earth Lyrics

A new star is born in the stillness of morning
The edge of the universe time is expanding
It's endless as love ifinitely small
Lights in the darkness, no reason at all

Billions of years away half moons are sharing
Glasses of wine with asteroids passing
A galaxy wakes on the wrong side of space
Gravity laughs in reality's face

Somewhere there, like dust in the air
A sphere is drifting too slowly to bare
And clinging on tightly to rocks and stones
A parasite's calling this dust its home

Another second of another day
In this corner of space
In this dark, cold universe
This world that I'm living in makes no sense to me
I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

A baby is born in the stillness of morning
Ten minutes past five they declared him alive
As tears roll down his mother's cheeks
And a midwife breathes a sigh of relief

While just down the road the last of the drunks
Make their way home to pass out on the bus
While the first of the businessmen in shirts and ties
Get ready to sell some more of their lies

In the newspaper offices lights still on
They've been up all night waiting for things to go wrong
And nobody saw as the wheels came down
A young man silently fall to the ground

In the houses they're turning on lights
Putting blindfolds over their eyes
Getting ready for another day at work

This illusion that I'm living in makes no sense to me
I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

A body is found in the stillness of morning
A priest in the street calls out a warning
Somewhere above London an air hostess stands
A 747 is coming in to land

A farmer has started her work for the day
Somehow she knows that something has changed
Out in the fields she dreams of her son
Back to the day when his journey begun

An eagle is searching for food in the spring
A sperm whale sleeps while a hummingbird sings
A lover is waiting for news by the phone
Out in the fields a cold wind blows

Cross the world there's flashes of light
They've been bombing the city all night
In the end, what's it all worth?

This simulation that I'm living in makes no sense to me
I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth
I'm still dreaming about the man who fell to earth

A tear is traveling across some skin
Molecules of water in sodium spin
Atoms are shaking so infinitely small
Just lights in the darkness, no reason at all
