[Intro]
||: / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / :|| [x2]
[Verse 1]
You fell out of the sky when you were twenty one,
Your bomber took a bullet from a German gun,
Did you think about your wife, your brief and tender life?
Did you pray to anyone?
[Chorus]
How does it feel when you re falling?
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God s holy face?
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Did you fall, or... did you fly?
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 2]
You fell out of your life when you were forty three,
You saw her, and thought she was your destiny,
You ve wandered from the path, and we cursed your aftermath,
But that s ancient history!
[Chorus]
How does it feel when you re falling?
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God s holy face?
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Did you fall, or... did you fly?
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
[Bridge]
You make it so damn hard... to love you,
I don t know why I even... try,
And all I ever wanted of you...
...Is to take me with you...when you fly---!
[Verse 3]
You fell out of my life one last time today,
I held your hand, and watched, as you slipped away,
You cast your pilot s eye to the endless open sky,
And I sent you on your way!
[Chorus]
How does it feel when you re falling?
Can you hear sweet angels... calling?
Is it empty up in space? Did you touch God s holy face?
Did you tremble? Did you cry?
Did you fall, or... did you fly?
