Story Behind The Song
This song originated from Susan Odella who very kindly asked me to collaborate with her to complete it. We had been talking about a collab for a while and this was the perfect material. The song evolved into something we are both proud of. It became a bit more rocky than I think either of us was expecting, but we feel it has worked well. Thank you Susan for a very enjoyable collaboration.

Lyrics
FALLING AWAY
©Susan Odella & Bob Bentley August 2019
Key: C
100bpm
Verse 1
Rain melts on the roses, petals in the breeze
Leaves reveal their colors, slipping from the trees
Hands that held each other, now are torn apart
Reaching for another helpless, lonely hearts
Chorus
Falling away, Falling away
Nothing lasts for evermore, Falling away, Falling away
Verse 2
Sun fades into darkness, shadows claim the light
Slice of moon up in the sky, in a starless night
Surrounded by so many, once upon a time
Now the world feels empty, you're no longer mine
Chorus
Falling away, Falling away
Nothing lasts for evermore, Falling away, Falling away
Bridge
Hard to tell when we're wrong or we're right, as our life flashes by
'Til we learn it can all fall away, in the blink of an eye - in the blink of an eye
Chorus
Falling away, Falling away
Nothing lasts for evermore, Falling away, Falling away
Chorus
Falling away, Falling away
Nothing lasts for evermore, Falling away, Falling away
