Long Way To Fall Lyrics – Billy Squier

Off in the land of heroes and fables
a man would not think to decline
Wrapped in your arms I'd climb any mountain
but that's only half the climb
Follow the treasures of darkest desire
Dance with Medusa, but don't look in her eyes
It's a long, long way to fall - I won't go down
You took the wrong turn after all - I won't be there
Knowin' what I know - knowin' I got to go
Cause I don't believe
There was a time when I could forgive you
and laugh at those sad games we'd play
I always thought that you were the strong one
and you'd break the walls down one day
Follow the circle, you come round again
Land on my doorstep, but I can't let you in
It's a long, long way to fall - don't pull me down
You took the wrong turn after all - I won't be there
Knowin' what I know - showin' what doesn't show
knowin' what I know
That I don't believe
I didn't lie when I said that I loved you
but you couldn't hope to believe
You can't come home to claim what you squandered
I've barely got room for my grief
Heart of the mineshaft the sun never shines
Lost in a minefield you might as well be blind
It's a long, long way to fall - I won't go down
You took the wrong train after all - I won't be there
Knowin' what I know - knowin' I've got to go
knowin' what I know
That I don't believe, and I can't conceive
now I just can't see you no more
