Billy Squier Long Way to Fall song lyrics

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
