World Falls Lyrics - 1200 Curfews - Indigo Girls

i'm coming home with a stone 

strapped onto my back 

i'm coming home with a burning hope 

turning all my blues to black 

i'm looking for a sacred hand 

to carve into my stone 

a ghost of comfort 

angels breath 

to keep this life inside my chest

this world falls on me 

hopes of immortality 

everywhere i turn 

all the beauty just keeps shaking me 

now i woke up in the middle of a dream 

scared the world was too much for me 

sejarez said, "don't let go 

just plant the seeds and watch them grow" 

i've slept in rainy canyon lands 

cold drenched to my skin 

i always wake to find a face 

to calm these troubled lands 

ah this world falls on me 

with dreams of immortality 

everywhere i turn 

all the beauty just keeps shaking me 

Photos 

now i'm running 

to the end of the earth 

and i'm swimming 

to the edge of the sea 

and i'm laughing 

i'm under a starry sky 

this world was meant for me 

don't bury me 

carry me 

i wish i was a nomad 

an indian or a saint 

the edge of death would disappear 

leave me nothing left to taint 

i wish i was a nomad 

an indian or a saint 

give me walking shoes 

feathered arms 

and a key to heaven's gate 

ah this world falls on me 

dreams of immortality 

everywhere i turn 

all the beauty just keeps shaking me 

i'm running 

(this world falls on me) 

to the end of the earth 

(with hopes of immortality) 

i'm swimming 

(everywhere i turn) 

to the edge of the sea 

(the beauty keeps on shaking me) 

and i'm laughing 

(this world falls on me) 

cause i'm under a starry sky 

(hopes of immortality) 

this world was meant for me 

(everywhere i turn) 

i've got hopes of immortality
