Falling (in and out of love)

A cosmic love affair between Venus and Mars

From the album Lost and Found

You said that you loved me

Right from the start

You said that you loved me

With all of your heart

You said that you loved me

And we’d never part

You said you were Venus

And you said that I was Mars

Then catch me the wind, catch me the sun

Catch me the moon, catch me the stars

Now I’m falling, I’m falling

I’m falling in love

You said that you loved me

For rich and for poor

You said that you loved me

In peace and at war

You said that you loved me

For time ever more

You said you were Venus

And you said that I was Mars

So catch me the wind, catch me the sun

Catch me the moon, catch me the stars

Now I’m falling, I’m falling

I’m falling in love

You said that you loved me

Without reason or rhyme

You said that you loved me

To the end of all time

You said that you loved me

And the Universe was mine

You said you were Venus

And you said that I was Mars

Go catch me the wind, catch me the sun

Catch me the moon, catch me the stars

Now I’m falling, I’m falling

I’m falling in love

And now that you’re gone

And I’m all alone

Oh I can’t go on

Living life on my own

I look to the sky, with a tear in my eye

And I see the sun and the moon begin to cry

Now cry me the wind, cry me the sun

Cry me the moon, cry me the stars

I didn’t want to hurt you

Nor desert you

Never let you go

I’m so sorry, so sorry

I had to let you go

Now I’m falling, I’m falling

I’m falling apart

Yes I’m falling, I’m falling

I’m falling apart.

I’m falling, falling, falling apart

I’m falling, falling, falling…….
