As the World Falls Down

By David Bowie

There's such a sad love
Deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel
Open and closed within your eyes
I'll place the sky within your eyes

There's such a fooled heart
Beating so fast in search of new dreams
A love that will last within your heart
I'll place the moon with your heart

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down

Falling (As the world)
Falling down
Falling in love
I'll paint you mornings of gold
I'll spin you Valentine evenings
Through we're strangers till now
I'll leave my love between the stars

As the pain sweeps through
Makes no sense for you
Every thrill has gone
Wasn't too much fun at all
But I'll be there for you
As the world falls down

Falling (As the world)
Falling down
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love

Makes no sense at all
Makes no sense at all
Falling
As the world falls down
Falling
Falling in love

From the soundtrack to Labyrinth (1986)
