Lyrics

Time Before the Fall
Dave Nachmanoff

Dreams of glory, in his mind
Now he’s made that, long hard climb
Took so long just to reach this day
Now he must travel far away

CHORUS:

Just like Adam and Eve, in the time before the Fall
Babes in the woods, thinkin’ they could have it all
But you just can’t have it all, no you just can’t have it all

Years of schooling, building skills
Everything she does, she does so well
The perfect woman, the perfect mom
She wonders where her joy has gone

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:

It’s a Faustian bargain, some kind of Devil’s deal
Trading time and love for money, losing touch with what is real

Beneath a fig tree, beneath a vine
Few possessions, but feeling fine
Love’s rekindled, and pressure’s lift
As they rejoice, in Nature’s gift

(Repeat Chorus)

Dave proudly endorses Access Bags and Cases and has toured with them for many years.
