Tumble And Fall Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

Your late night conversation 

Telephone call and an inspiration 

For a heart to recall, had a tumble and fall 

And my friends all say I'm lazy 

Clumsy at love and I'm middle age crazy 

I stumble along with a tumble and fall 

Or maybe I'll come to my senses 

Or come back to you when the fences are mended 

Maybe love is a quiet whisper after all 

Maybe love is a heart that heals you 

Harmony when you can't recall the melody to the song 

You're just singin' along, yes, you now sing along to the tumble and fall 

I remember the sensuous cold 

The chill of the month through an open window 

And a beat of of your heart to a tumble and fall 

You see I'm a little something you always needed 

Your tried and true and I should believe in the strength of your arms 

When I tumble and fall 

So, maybe I'll come to my senses 

Or come back to you when the fences are mended 

Maybe love is a quiet whisper after all 

Maybe love is a heart that heals you 

Harmony when you can't recall the melody to the song 

You just singin' along, yes, you now sing along to the tumble and fall 

Oh, I'll sing along to the tumble and fall
