falling tower

(nicolas despo)
painting by jamie belkind-gerson

falling tower

he called to say i won't be coming home
ground exploding under my feet
it's just a matter
of a very short time
till i ride this tower down to the street
i'm gonna ride this tower down into eternity

one last thing i want to say to you
you've always been the one
then he spoke to his oldest teenage boy
he said, now you're the man of the house

there came a time
what i thought was mine
vanished from my sight
it cracked me open till i could see
he's in the hands he's in the arms of love

he left us with some money
he left us with a home
sailed away on the river
of the tears from our cries
he had a smile like a moon made of gold
he had a smile like a moon made of gold

there came a time
what i thought was mine
vanished from my sight
it cracked me open
till i could see
he's in the hands he's in the arms of love
he’s in the hands he’s in the arms of love
we are in the hands we’re in the arms of love
