| I dropped a coin in the wishing well
|
| It’s been a long time dry
|
| I watched that ol' greyhound bus kick up dust
|
| As it rolls on by
|
| I asked the man in the station
|
| He said man just take a look around
|
| We haven’t had a train through here
|
| Since it all came tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Come tumblin' down
|
| I’m not a drinkin' man no more
|
| But this one night I got lost
|
| I’ve never been much of a dancer
|
| But this I surely was
|
| I made it out to the cottonwoods
|
| Slept with my ear down to the ground
|
| And in my dreams I could hear the screams
|
| As it all came tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' come tumblin'
|
| Come tumblin' down
|
| The corridors are all empty
|
| And there’s a child sitting on the stairs
|
| She’s seen everything there is to see
|
| And somehow she still cares
|
| We took a ride on the ferris wheel
|
| Built from glass and steel and such
|
| Now it’s melting in the sun
|
| And it’s not worth all that much
|
| Tumblin' down
|
| I raise my hands up to the sky
|
| Tumblin' down
|
| As we climb to higher ground
|
| Tumblin' down
|
| Let’s just keep on dancing
|
| Tumblin' down
|
| Until it all comes tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' down
|
| Tumblin' down come tumblin' come tumblin'
|
| Come tublin' down |
