Lady, Don't Fall Backwards Lyrics - Grace/wastelands - Pete Doherty

Once upon a time 

When the cold wind that blows 

When the cold wind that blows in my heart 

It was a summer breeze and she 

Would meet me in Chinatown for opium and tea 

And she always brought me flowers 

But I spared you those old ballads 

Or songs that I couldn't play 

But every giro day 

She'd dress me like a lady boy 

And take me out of the way 

Don't let the horse chase the new deal away, no 

If we make love in the morning 

I see your eyes look like two marbles in your head 

Lady don't you fall backwards 

C'mon and fall into my arms 

Aw, don't you fall backwards 

Well, I wouldn't want for you to come to any harm 

Now tell me, if darkness comes 

Then I will sing you a song 

And I will love you forever 

At least 'til morning comes 

Lady don't you fall backwards 

Come on and fall into my arms 

Come on and fall into my arms
