I took a fall from lover's leap
Earth and sky spun around
When you found my crumpled bones
Helped me stand on the ground
I was in a fog of beer and shooters,
In a god-awful state
I could see love in your eyes,
But how long would you wait?
I ain't ready
To fall in love again
But when I'm ready for your
I hope it won't be too late
I was an ace fighter pilot
Who got shot down in flames
I was a perfect gambler
Got caught up in the game
What I thought was true love,
Was a rabid dog at the gate
You pulled the pins from the voodoo doll
When I couldn't stand up straight
I ain't ready
To fall in love again
But when I'm ready for your
I hope it won't be too late
Flowers grow in the burial ground
Silence comes after the rain
Time had stopped and left me here
Abandoned rail, waiting for a train
Earth was scorched where I stood
The sky cried down on my
You soothed my burns
And taught me how to be free
I ain't ready
To fall in love again
But when I'm ready for your
I hope it won't be too late
