Before a record of the sunset

After the fires before the celeste

Had keyed and rung her chimey two-step

A from the mountain sprung the forest
[Verse 2]

Spirit wings for flight is all wound

Language from a lip yet unfound

The hour drowned, the leaves have spread their rounds

Before the borders ever knew ground

I keep on falling down

Keep on falling down

Keep on falling down

So lo in crept to infect

As they wept and slept, then ingest

Things that men prefer to forget
F#m D
Than peer into a glass of reflect

Am I seen to all my dead kin?
A
When death floats near

Are they the ones that shout in my ear?

Confederate river ghosts come lie down

Inhale the earth's breath, that's your bed now

You're of hummingbird and quasar

The cannonball has flown its arc now

To be found by the plow
G D A
Years from now

Keep on falling down
