Everything Falls Away
Everything Falls Away-Gretchen Peters
Wasn’t a cloud in the sky when the news arrived
just another bluebird day
just a voice on the phone saying I’m sorry
everything falls away
so i went down to the sea to look for you
found the moon and the Milky Way
watched the tide take back what it gave to me
everything falls away
everything falls away
i live in the fear that my heart will break
i look for the thing that’ll cure the ache
just one thing that the world can’t take away
i want to dive beneath the undertow
down to the bones of the earth below
i want to know, i want to know – where did you go
where did you go
I saw you so clear in a dream last night
diving from the cliffs at Echo Bay
the arc and the pause and the slow descent
everything falls away
everything
