Everything Falls Away

Everything Falls Away-Gretchen Peters

Wasn’t a cloud in the sky when the news arrived

just another bluebird day

just a voice on the phone saying I’m sorry

everything falls away

so i went down to the sea to look for you

found the moon and the Milky Way

watched the tide take back what it gave to me

everything falls away

everything falls away

i live in the fear that my heart will break

i look for the thing that’ll cure the ache

just one thing that the world can’t take away

i want to dive beneath the undertow

down to the bones of the earth below

i want to know, i want to know – where did you go

where did you go

I saw you so clear in a dream last night

diving from the cliffs at Echo Bay

the arc and the pause and the slow descent

everything falls away

everything
