Tumble and Fall

[UndertheOcean]

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

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