They Fall Lyrics

You came to me in a dream

This time you knelt at the side of my bed

As if to tell me I'm dying

I represent that metaphor, you said

I saw the shadow of my cancer

As I cressed the Erzebet Hid

From riches to rags you left your home behind

Now I search for mine

I don't know where it is I belong

Everywhere and nowhere

I search my heart for

A familiar place and

The comfort of a tender face

I find no one

The ghosts of my past,

Swirl and dance around my body

As I pound these streets

of my Father's country

The echoes of my heritage

My ancestors draw near

All too old too male-dominated

The heaviness breaks my bones

The heaviness broke my Spirit

Before I had time to breathe

Before I had the inclination to sing

My first note to my first beat.

I don't know where it is I belong…

Mountain cave damp monastery

Sheltered just a few

To save from certain pain of death

To offer life a new

My plight not so actual

My Soul however is torn

My ribs remind me of all I still carry

My cancer in plain view to me…FINALLY

So I walk and I wait yeah

I walk and I wait yeah

I walk and wait

For these tears to fall

Yeah I walk and I wait

Yeah I walk and I wait

I walk and I wait

For these precious Holy tears to fall

They Fall
