Lyrics Phoenix Falling - Maura O'Connell

Phoenix Falling

Every day she walks down to river at noon
I will never be young anymore, she says
How bout you?
Are we the same or
Do you have one more
Reason to stay here
Chipping away at the tide?
She’s been wrestling with questions that offer no choice
Conversations that drum in the monotone of her voice
Oh why
Do I keep chipping away at
The darkness that fills every day with
No change in sight anywhere?
Phoenix falling the angels are calling me home
Children come running to
See the lady who stands on the bridge, will she jump
Or will she die
All alone in the night
Just the tears in her eyes and the dust on her clothes
Jane Doe
Say a prayer for the mothers who never return
Bless the days when it’s all you can do not to crash and burn
Oh why
Why, she says, Am I alone when
Multitudes crowd all around me
Sunshine and bright everywhere?
Phoenix falling the angels are calling me home
Children come running to
See the lady who stands on the bridge, will she jump
Or will she die
All alone in the night
Just the tears in her eyes and the dust on her clothes
Jane Doe
Phoenix falling the angels are calling me home
Children come running to
See the lady who stands on the bridge, will she jump
Or will she die
All alone in the night
Just the tears in her eyes and the dust on her clothes
Jane Doe
