Nanci Griffith - Tumble and Fall Lyrics

You're a late night conversation
A telephone call and an inspiration
For a heart to recall how to tumble and fall
My friends all say I'm lazy
I'm clumsy at love and I'm middle aged-crazy
I stumble along with a tumble and fall

Well maybe I'll come to my senses
Or come back to you where the fences are mended
Maybe love is a quiet whisper after all
Maybe love is a heart that gives you harmony
When you can't recall the melody to the song
You're just singin' along
Yes, and I'll sing along to your tumble and fall

I remember San Francisco
The chill of the moon through an open window
And the beat of your heart to a tumble and fall
You say, I'm a little somethin' you always needed
You're tried and true and I should believe in
The strength of your arms when I tumble and fall

So well maybe I'll come to my senses
Or come back to you where the fences are mended
Maybe love is a quiet whisper after all
Maybe love is a heart that gives you harmony
When you can't recall the melody to the song
You're just singin' along
Yes, and I'll sing along to the tumble and fall

Oh I'll sing along with the tumble and fall
