people all arising
in the morning bright and breezy
thinking back to yesterday
when life seemed to be so easy

CHORUS
and is it just imagination
pictures in my mind
just like waiting at some skybound station
for the train to bring us a peace
we never find

the river she flows so silently
never knowing of her death
never saying just what she feels
doesn't matter 'cause I love her none the less

CHORUS

oh lord I'm falling again
sweet Jesus hear me call your name
oh lord I'm falling again
have mercy on me now and then
have mercy on me now and then

hey there goes a soldier boy
well I wonder where he's going
maybe home to see his girl
do you think that she'll be showing?
and is it just his imagination
pictures in his mind
like a- waiting at some skybound station
for the train to bring us a peace we never find

oh lord I'm falling again
sweet Jesus hear me call your name
oh lord I'm falling again
have mercy on me now and then
have mercy on me now and then

time goes by the seasons change
and our lives go quickly by
the time we have is short to us
yet we find it pays to try

CHORUS

oh lord I'm falling again
sweet Jesus hear me call your name
oh lord I'm falling again
have mercy on me now and then
have mercy on me now and then...

have mercy on me now and then
