lyrics

I was there when the blue sky broke in September
Working up on the hundred seventh floor
I’m the front page picture guy, remember?
When the first plane hit I was sitting there bored

I’m the falling man
I’m the falling man
Mmmmmmm

Mundane as a Monday morning, that’s Tuesday
Woke up for work about quarter to eight
Sat with my wife and drank a cup of coffee
We didn’t kiss because we were running late

I’m the falling man
I’m the falling man
Mmmmmmm
As I’m floating down
I hear a mother on the ground
Say “Sweetie, maybe they’re just birds”

I’m flying south now for the winter
I’m a superhero at last
Wish I’d focused less on my future
Futures can disappear so fast

I’m the falling man
I’m the falling man
Mmmmmmm
As I’m floating down
I hear a mother on the ground
Say “Sweetie, maybe they’re just birds”
“Sweetie, maybe they’re just birds”

about

Joe Dickinson Chicago, Illinois

Hi, I’m Joe Dickinson.

I'm a DIY singer/songwriter from Chicago, IL.

It's not easy, balancing the external demands of work/life with the internal demands of creativity, but I'm working toward a set of sustainable internal systems that will allow me to continue to write, record, and release songs. Hopefully for the rest of my life.

I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
