Let It All Fall Down — текст песни (James Taylor)

Sing a song for the wrong

And the wicked and the strong

And the sick, as thick as thieves

For the faceless fear that was never so near

Too clear to misbelieve



Well the sea is jumping salty

And the porpoise has the blues

My recollections faulty

And I cannot find my shoes

And my wiring is misfiring

Due to cigarettes and booze

Im behind in my dues

I just now got the news

He seems to tell us lies

And still we will believe him

Then together he will lead us

Into darkness, my friends



Refrain:

Let it fall down, let it fall down

Let it all fall down

Let it fall down, let it fall down

Let it all fall down



The man says stand to one side, son

We got to keep this big ball rolling

Its just a question of controlling

For whom the bell is tolling



Refrain



Therell be suffering and starvation

In the streets young man

Just where have you been, old man

Just look out of your window, man



Refrain



Well, it aint nobodys fault but our own

Still, at least we might could show the good sense

To know when weve been wrong

And its already taken too long

So we bring it to a stop

Then we take it from the top

We let it settle on down softly

Like your gently falling snow

Or let it tumble down and topple

Like the temple long ago



Refrain
