All Fall Down
lyrics
Fish
Holding her in my arms before leaving her there
I always wanted, was my intention
But I was stunned by how much she loved me
No denying, I couldn’t say it, I wanted to say it
But now the only thing that’s left is the cripple
And the sound of the seasons
Sad as winter
Fish that couldn’t swim
Bird that wouldn’t fly
Worm that couldn’t crawl
Man that wouldn’t try
I am
Home she called and wanted to be
An ocean and more away from me
Or some sign, just try
But facing back, hand to brow
Skin to shed and not knowing how
Floating islands and then some
Fish that couldn’t swim
Bird that wouldn’t fly
Worm that couldn’t crawl
Man that wouldn’t try
I am
Down in the valley below I wander
Likes to do it alone but no wonder
Eagle-eye glinting, picking my bits
But there she comes again, how you call it
A strong-box future or just falling
I don’t know, can’t let go
But creaking with joy, distempered laugh
She begged to go and I let her pass
Fish that couldn’t swim
Bird that wouldn’t fly
Worm that couldn’t crawl
Man that wouldn’t try
I am

Currently a resident in Marseille, Hale has been releasing albums for more than three decades. Hale’s work is stubborn and transcendent of genres and deeply evocative in a way that only a true original can be.
Title track was the first I'd ever heard of Jeff's work and it struck me like a ten-ton hammer.
Was a perfect fit for the small-town college I was attending at the time, not far from train tracks itself.
Every time I hear this, I can see the amber light of the street lamps and think about a few walks I made around campus in the dead of night.
Still haven't grabbed hold of the life I've been given as firmly as I ought to, but this song soothes my regret...and the chorus reminds me.... moonandstar8765
Potent pop songs from this Ontario artist with an alternative edge thanks to toothy guitars & synths that go off like fireworks. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 28, 2022
