This one is close to the heart, and takes me back to the time of a relationship breakup that left me homeless, living in a car in the almost Antarctic winter of Tasmania in 2007 (with a brief stay in a rubber room). It is about despair. As for music, I am thinking minor chords, simple sad piano backing etc maybe even a sax solo
It snowed this morning,
never thought I’d say that.
The sun was always shining, looking back...
It never rained much at all,
Then one day came the fall.
Words have never failed me,
'til I found you’d gone away.
No goodbyes I guess you had nothing left to say...
We’d both said it all,
Then one day came the fall.
CHORUS1
Words were thrown, true colours shown,
If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything...
Your cover’s blown but I’d always known,
That we’d see this day, so don’t say anything.
Slow-motion space surrounds
me In this empty bed
I’m as cold and empty as the words you never said...
You know I hit the wall,
Then one day came the fall.
The moment that it hit me,
that I couldn’t make you stay.
I tried to look forward, live to love another day...
I’d had then lost it all,
Then one day came the fall.
CHORUS2
Being alone cuts to the bone,
I don’t know where to turn when I’ve lost everything...
A dial tone, a silent phone,
Nobody to talk to when I’ve lost everything.
Words were thrown, true colours shown,
If you don’t know what to say, don’t say anything...
Your cover’s blown but I’d always known,
That we’d see this day, so don’t say anything.
You know I hit the wall,
Then one day came the fall
