she was only a girl, it was nobody's world
and she told me she'd lived for a while
i was only 16 but i knew how to dream
i still dream though it's way out of style

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all, down at all

we were took by surprise
as we looked at the size
of the man that we all called the lord
just between you and me
well there weren't much to see
what with helmet and blood-stained sword

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all, down at all

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all, down at all

so it was somebody's world
and i was only the girl
and i told you i'd be here for a while
'cause when you're only 16
and you know how to dream
you keep dreaming 'til the dreaming gets wild

i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
than never fall down at all
i'd rather fall down gently
