Lizz Wright - When I Fall

I was very tired and cold and thought that I hadn't listened to jazz in a really long time, which is one thing that I find surprising, since jazz is my favorite genre of music. I hit shuffle and it landed on this one. One of my favorite songs. There's something really sensual about Wright's voice, and I just love the poignancy and simplicity of this song.


Lizz Wright - When I Fall
I want to be wild and bold enough to run with you , my baby
I want to skip time lay the hours aside and stay with you , my baby

But oh if I look down now , will I fall
And what if the water's cold , when I fall

I want to be still and quietly say , I'll lay with you my baby
I wish I were brave and sure today to pray that it's you my baby

But oh if I look down now , tell me will I fall
And what if the water's cold , when I fall

Oh oh if I look down now , tell me will I fall
And what if the water's cold , when I fall

Oh oh if I look down now , tell me will I fall
And what if the water's cold , cold when I fall

When I fall , when I fall

I could cry or fall asleep to this. I was lying on the floor, cold, unwilling to move, tired, deadbeat. And now I'm back up again.
