Fallin' Off The World

America · Perspective [1984]

Each time I call you I feel my heart beat

I want to be there walkin' up your street

It doesn't matter how far I travel

Crossin' the ocean, the golden gravel



I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you



Tomorrow's headline, read all about it

They caught the big one and I don't doubt it

Across the country they're paintin' stories

About our failures, about our glories



I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you



All those who love each other must share in the fight

Nobody knows where their clear spirit goes in the night



Out of the country it seems so easy

To keep believin' our dream of Fiji

Your image lingers, a faded picture

Your past erased by untold elixir



I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you



All those who love each other must share in the fight

Nobody knows where their clear spirit goes in the night



I'm fallin' off the world

I'm callin' you (do you believe)

I'm fallin' off the world

Fallin' Off The World
