The Wall

I'm afraid this is one of those questions..

I have this song in my head but just can't get any further than the one line. Its wrecking my poor head cause I know I know it really well. It could be old Leonard Cohen or somebody but possibly someone completely different.

All I can think of is this bit and then I hit the wall.

".. she falls to the floor, its all part of the game.." or something along those lines.

Any ideas.............?

I was totally wrong!!
It was the Tindersticks song "She's Gone" I was thinking of...
Sorry about all that..

she's gone
She's gone
And it's quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother's eye
Stole her mother's heart
It's a compromise
We nurture that part and she's gone
Says she can walk now
Says she can walk now
Seen her walking
She totters and falls
And when I'm not looking
Leans onto the wall
And she'll hold on to me only when she wants
And she'll fall and be up again
It's part of the fun

But she's gone
Thinks she can walk now
Thinks she can walk now
Thinks she can walk
She's gone
And it's quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town
Took her mother's eye
Stole her mother's heart
It's a compromise
We nurture that part and she's gone
And it's quiet now
Took her mother with her
Left town

part
