Falling ("As I sat Sadly By Her Side" by Nick Cave)

Thanks,
Guentcho

[nq:1]I think, in the second part "falling" means only "falling", but I have problems with the first part ("falling lovely and amazing" - well, it doesn't have to mean anything, but maybe it has some meaning).[/nq]
Someone has already said that it is a little unusual to refer to heavenly bodies as "falling", meaning moving under the influence of gravity, just as we do when we fall over. As for
