"When You Come Back Down" by Nickel Creek (Tim O'Brien/Danny O'Keefe)

1st Verse

You got to leave me now
You got to go alone
You got to chase a dream
One that's all your own
Before it slips away

2nd Verse

When you're flyin' high
Take my heart along
I'll be the harmony
To every lonely song
That you'll learn to play

1st Chorus

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

3rd Verse

I'll keep lookin' up
Awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be
That you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire

4th Verse

I'll be the other hand
That always holds the line
Connectin' in between
Your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

2nd Chorus

And I'll be on the other end
To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly
And if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
(I'll) catch you when you fall

Bridge

Your memory's the sunshine
Every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

Tag Chorus

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down
