When I Fall

Steve Earle


Late at night on some dark deserted highway 
On my way to another lonesome town 
I thought I might see the first light of a new day 
As it lay like fool's gold on the ground 

chorus 
But whenever I'm feelin' low 
I won't have to cry alone I know 
'Cause you will answer when I call 
If I soar above the clouds and then 
I come crashin' back to earth again 
You will catch me when I fall 

All these years I've watched you trip and stumble 
There were times that I feared that you were lost 
But every tear that I dried after you tumbled 
Comes to mind when I'm considerin' the cost 

chorus 

In my heart there's a place for you to run to 
Anytime you're tired and hurt and blue 
For my part I have only to remind you 
You will find me waiting when you do 

chorus
