Steve Earle - When I Fall lyrics

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

But whenever I'm feeling 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 crashing 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
And every tear I dried after you tumbled
Comes to mind when I'm considering the cost

But whenever I'm feeling 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
Come crashing back to Earth again
You will catch me when I fall

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

But whenever I'm feeling 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 crashing back to Earth again
You will catch me when I fall
