    As You Fall

    by: Bent

    Is this how
    You were found?
    Like a star fallen
    To the ground?
    As you fall
    You make no sound
    As you fall
    Wish for a place where you want to be
    Lying still
    Flowers all around
    In my dreams I see you
    Falling down
    So is this how (is this how)
    You were found?
    Like a star fallen
    To the ground?
    As you fall
    You make no sound
    As you fall
