here we stand about to fly
peeking down over land, parachute behind
what was that moment for which we lived
without a parachute about to dive

found myself convincing
                        blindly falling faster
                        how easy
                        know the place I'm leaving
                    and the rest is just gone

oh the adoration
but how much does it take
for exploration, for split
decision, or
are you stronger to remain

found myself convincing
blindly falling faster
how easy
know the place I'm leaving
and the rest is just gone

crept up on me
ignored all my pleas
was begging to leave
justice, to name me fell
out of the sky
ceasing to be
without a reply
gravity fails me and
when I awoke
knew it was real
hope to convince you
with lies they all torture me
open the door, knew it was me
finally realise, parachute over me.
 
 
"i think it was steve perry who once said 'they say that the road ain't no place to start a family
cos right down the line it's been you and me, and lovin' a music man ain't always what it's supposed to be'. This one's for Steve, and anyone who knows how hard it is to keep a relationship alive on this thing they call the road."
