FALLING
One night in Greece made me feel so complete and divine
Soft summer breeze floated in from the sea whispering you are mine
The wind told lies
'Till the morning light
CHORUS
Over and over I'm falling
Spinning in circles and begging for you
Over and over I'm falling
Slipping with no one to hold me
I'm falling down
Leaves falling down and my grey rainy town seems so dead
Don't know your name yet still I keep on wishing for yesterday
I'd give my life
For just one more night
CHORUS
Each night I dream of the breeze from the sea
And I still feel the touch of your hands
Can I escape from the grey autumn day
And return to the night we once had?

Marina's Notes:
I was stuck in traffic in L.A. & somehow this tune popped in
my head and I kept singing it and singing it. This whole time in my mind I heard the Latin
percussion going on, and it was really different from anything I'd ever come up with. I
kept singing "Over and over I'm falling" line and was adlibbing the rest of the
chorus. That night I told Nick that I wanted to finish the song I started writing in my
head earlier, but it had to have that Latin flavor. We wrote the song within half an hour!
