Story Behind the Song
This is a song about the moment when you realize you've lost someone that really loved you. The feeling that this is the beginning of a really bad time in your life. This is the "Peak of the Fall".
Lyrics
The Peak of the Fall
Love, where are you now?
What do you feel now that I am weeping?
And did you know, that when you left
My heart was cold (and empty)?
Still I sit, and think of our last night together,
And how I begged, but still you walked out the door.
This is the peak of the fall...
How can this be the right decision,
Aren't I a simple fool.
A jester in the court of love,
A painted clown of woe.
As I sit here, in the dark...
With my head in my hands,
And my mind is racing,
Where did I go wrong?
And I wait for a knock at the door...
...A knock that never comes.
This is the peak of the fall...
How can this be the right decision,
Aren't I a simple fool.
A jester in the court of love,
A painted clown of woe.
Love, where are you now?
What do you feel now that I am angry?
And did you know, that when you left
My heart was cold and empty?
This is the peak of the fall...
How can this be the right decision,
Aren't I a simple fool.
A jester in the court of love,
A painted clown of woe.
John Welborn, 11/00
