about
This song was written when love was new. A common theme throughout our relationship were autumn leaves. The one-armed angel is a statue in the neighborhood of Ukrainian Village in Chicago.
lyrics
The Leah Song
Words and Music by Narciso Lobo, Jr.
Climb up on top of the roof
Look at this lovely sky
Some look at the moon and say she’s aloof
But look at her lovely shine
Yeah, those are my knees shaking
Yeah, that’s my heartbeat pounding inside
But it ain't the height that’s making me
So terrified
I believe I’m falling, I believe I’m falling, calling out Leah, Leah
I believe I’m falling, I believe I’m falling, calling out Leah, Leah
Maybe I just ought to quit
Maybe you got a plan
You ain’t safe, and I don’t fit
But I’m still gonna be your man, yes I am
I want to watch you dance again
Sing me some Marley, take a hold of my hand
I’ll drive you home in my van
As slow as I can
I believe I’m falling, I believe I’m falling, calling out Leah, Leah
I believe I’m falling, I believe I’m falling, calling out Leah, Leah
I believe I’m falling, I believe I’m falling, calling out Leah, Leah
I believe I’m falling, I believe I’m falling, calling out Leah, Leah
Ah, these one-armed angels, ah, these beautiful leaves
Ah, these one-armed angels, ah, these beautiful leaves
Ah, these one-armed angels, ah, these beautiful leaves
Ah, these one-armed angels, ah, these beautiful leaves
