The wind it blows forever
And the sun it never shines
When you've fallen out of favor
When you've fallen out of line
When you're talking ever sweetly
Ever gently to the wall
When you're falling into company
Who just want to watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
In the room where we were sitting
It was difficult to see
All the emptiness around us
All the emptiness between
I never really knew you were
So shallow 'til you sighed
'til you told me to pretend and
Not to rage against the tide
Against the tide
Against the tide
Against the tide
Against the tide
And even when the stone wars
Began to wear you down
You managed still to slip away
To the other side of town
To that little love that lit you
Up like a firelight
And sang into your darkness
\"Love me tenderly tonight\"
Tenderly
Tenderly
Tenderly
Tenderly
Now the gods they come
And pray to you
They come to your bedside
They gather round and whisper
Don't rage against the tide
And the sound of one hand clapping
Goes a ringing round the room
Along with all their laughter
And your penny's worth of gloom
Worth of gloom
Worth of gloom
Worth of gloom
Worth of gloom
For, the wind it blows forever
And the sun it never shines
When you've fallen out of favor
When you've fallen out of line
When you're talking ever sweetly
Ever gently to the wall
When you're falling into company
Who just want to watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
Fall, fall, fall, fall
Watch you fall
Watch you fall
