Description
Song from the debut LP of this singer-songwriter-guitarist, who cut his teeth in the New York City punk rock scene before striking out on his own. This all-acoustic solo track, with its poetic lyrical journey, finds its subject reveling in the mysterious wonders of life, yet still plagued by age-old questions. "Is there a God? And if not, might we be truly alone, and left to our own meager defenses?"
Lyrics
Streetlight flashes and Heaven fades The lonely man has nothing to say The sun and the moon and stars above And endless chasm filled with love If the meaning of life is nothing at all What will catch me when I fall A lone wolf howls in the snowy night Something doesn’t feel quite right The flame a candle burning bright A thousand years that made my life If the meaning of life is nothing at all What will catch me when I fall If the meaning of life is nothing at all What will catch me when I fall Pain and sadness anger and rage A billion people locked in a cage The waterfall turns to ice But I can’t see it with my eyes If the meaning of life is nothing at all What will catch me when I fall If the meaning of life is nothing at all What will catch me when I fall What will catch me when I fall What will catch me when I fall What will catch me when I fall What will catch me when I fall When I fall
