about

A chance meeting between a man short on hope and a woman of wild romance and wanderings. The meeting takes place n the midnight woods and wilds of Winchester in Hampshire. They spend the night together and he wants more than her heart is able to give...to this she says 'We could lay beneath the stars tonight...but f you want to fall in love with me babe...I'm not the Falling Kind'

lyrics

I met her on a Sunday night
There was darkness in the sky

Wild roses in her hair
There were stories in her eyes

She had wings on her feet
There was magic in her mind

When she spoke the storm it broke
Lightning filled the night...

She said...

Hey hey I'll never stop running
Because heaven, heaven is a coming

Oh oh we could lay beneath the stars tonight
But if you wanna fall in love with me babe...

I'm not the falling kind

She kept the sun upon her face
Her past was far behind

Could never stay in just one place
Said she couldn't waste her time

Once a passion had burned her heart
But a sadness scared her soul

Now she'll never let her feelings start
And the road has become her home...

She said...

Hey hey I'll never stop running
Because heaven, heaven is a coming

oh oh we could lay beneath the stars tonight
But if you wanna fall in love with me babe...

I'm not the falling kind

Sweet heart of jasmine perfume everywhere
Green apple blossom floating on the midnight air...

When the moon and mist had gone
And the dreaming turned to day

She took the route the river runs
And never changed her way

Where the Summer swallows fly above St Catherine's Hill
She'll sleep beneath the evening tree

When there's circles in the fields...

She said...

Hey hey I'll never stop running
Because heaven, heaven is a coming
oh oh we could lay beneath the stars tonight

She said...

Hey hey I'll never stop running
Because heaven, heaven is a coming
oh oh we could lay beneath the stars tonight

But if you wanna fall in love with me babe...

I'm not the falling kind
