lyrics

It’s such a long, long way to fall –
Such a long, long way
From the dreaming to the Earth below

Once upon a time
Somewhere down the fame line.
She was the queen
Of the silver screen.
With every part she played
Came greater accolades –
Oh, how the whole world adored her.
But, as time went by,
The roles began to dry up,
Disappearing
Like a big screen fade out.

It’s such a long, long way to fall –
Such a long, long way
From the dreaming to the Earth below

Once the darling of the press,
Now they couldn’t care less.
From a house in the hills
To a bedsit…
Where she watches old reels
As her imagination steals
An escape through the screen
Back to yesteryear.
In a half-waking dream
She acts out every scene,
As the ghost of her past
Moves on celluloid.





But as this night unfolds,
She’ll play one final role:
To be the face once again
To sell the magazines…

And she’s so tired,
So tired of being no-one.
She used to someone - you know.
The world must be sleeping,
She’s got to wake it up…

Dressed in the clothes
Of her most famous role,
She steps upon the high ledge
With the city below.
As the news teams arrive
She steps into the sky:
Her face all aglow
As the cameras roll…

It’s such a long, long way to fall –
Such a long, long way
With the whole world below
Such a long, long way
From the heaven we used to know.

I think I recognise the feeling,
I think I recognise the doubt setting in.

It’s such a long, long way to fall –
Such a long, long way
From the dreaming to the Earth below
One time – another time…
