Jill Hennessy - Falling Down
my brother's bike sits against the old garage door
i guess he's back from somewhere i think it's too small for him to ride anymore
he sits to watch the tv, now it's time to play good family
i can do it, i'm real good making something out of nothing, pushing emptiness away
it ain't so bad don't forget, don't cry, don't complain
just don't let the grownups know or they'll come and take us away
go next door and ask for sugar, tiny actors in a play
spinning gold out of straw
making something sweet for dinner 'cause their parents are away
i didn't want to cry then but sometimes i cry
now for three who held tight to each other to keep from falling down
we don't ask him where he's been when it's a minefield you've been livin' in
with worry howlin' through the door, poking at you in your sleep
and she says don't you call me here no more it's not my turn it's his
guess we're living in a stalemate with a little boy
who cries for fear of all the emptiness
how'd we used to put on christmas, what's the record that we played
watch the happy tv movie, no one's pulling in the driveway
god, the winter days are dark, leave the light on
watch the snow falling lonely in the park
i didn't want to cry then but sometimes
i cry now for three who held tight to each other to keep from falling down
i wish i would have held you, wish i gave you more
but i'm so sorry darlin', i guess my arms were too small, too small
i guess he's back from somewhere i think it's too small for him to ride anymore
he sits to watch the tv, now it's time to play good family
i can do it, i'm real good making something out of nothing, pushing emptiness away
