When The Music Stops Lyrics & Chords By Heather Nova

I think I know just how you're feelin'
The water's risin' all around
Don't wanna tell your friends you're sinkin'
That you're so afraid you'll drown

He tells you when he needs you
But he brings you so far down
And you can't find a way
To turn this ship around

And you see the leaves are fallin'
Another year is gone
Should you wait it out and have faith
Or leave before the dawn

You thought he was the right one
You don't know where it went wrong
But you're a song bird
And now you lost your song

You need to fly, sing
And feel the joy that life can bring
Just fly, sing
Above these walls you're livin' in

And I know the way you're thinkin'
You just need to give him time
You think maybe it's been you're fault
But you know how hard you've tried

And when the voice you used to sing with
Is just an echo in your soul
But when the music stops
It's time to go

You need to fly, sing
And feel the joy that life can bring
Just fly and sing
Above these walls you're livin' in

Just fly, sing
Fly, sing
Fly, sing
Above these walls you're livin' in
