lyrics

I was all of 17 when you moved from Monterey
And I’d never known loving quite that way
In the throws of youthful bravado we had nothing else but time
And I swore I’d never take that job working down the mine
We keep falling
We keep falling

You weren't fooled by dreams of money or a young boy's quest for fame
It was something else that made you take my name
We were of a time when people lived according to the Lord
And a girl in your condition had to fall upon her sword

We keep falling…

Now the winters here are brutal and the wind it chills your bones
And the dampness never leaves your clothes
The years have done their damage and the whiskey’s played its part
As the calluses upon my hands moved towards my heart

We keep falling…

The mines are all a-closing and there's no work to be found
Our faces match the thunder brewing on the edge of town
And the litany of promises that disappeared like ice
Left us like a gambler shooting craps with loaded dice

We keep falling…

Now you're sitting here and dreaming bout the bluffs of Monterey
It was never all that warm there anyway
And all the things we should have said so many years before
Are flaking like the decaying paint upon the kitchen door
