The Last Fall

It all starts to happen with the sun going down
 When the light gently falls and fades away
 And the air hangs heavy with the scent of your soul
 As it's saying goodbye to the end of the day
 And it all begins with the kiss of a lifetime
 That's never been given and never will alone
 And is it God given mercy, this absence of touch?
 Should you love me at all, could I love you this much?
 And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory
 And with half of my heart I respect your sad call
 You can be who you are in this time of your trouble
 This time that we're sharing before the last fall
 And as I sit here and wonder about the fate of my being
 And the weight of my seeing you so far away
 But I refuse to go under this part of my loneliness
 When all of this heartache is heading my way
 I'm seeing your soul through the eyes of eternity
 When all my resistance is fading away
 And from the depths of this hole I can't deal with your agony
 Hoping to help you in any way
 And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory
 And with half of my heart I respect your sad call
 But you can be who you are in this time of your trouble
 This time that we're sharing before the last fall
 And from where I am standing what looks like adversity
 May be anxiety wrapped up in fear
 Of failing to recognize the heartbeat of someone
 Of someone who wants you and sees you so clear
 I can only tell you to follow your feelings
 And follow your heart to the end of the road
 And you may find out when you finally get there
 And open a window, a-close up the door
 And I'm hearing your heart beat from the distance of memory
 And with half of my heart I respect your sad call
 You can be who you are in this time of your trouble
 This time that we're sharing before the last fall
