He started to speak several times, but each time the words fell short of making sense.

And she felt her words fall into a deep silence.

These words fell with a sort of chill upon my heart.

His expression didn't change for a moment; then the words fell into place.

Her words fell like drops of hot lead on his skin.

Whatever words fell from my mouth were the Gospel, no question.

The words had fallen into a pattern in his mind even as he started to speak them.

The last word fell flat from my mouth as I reached the kitchen door.

The words fell like the ring of steel into the room.

Then the words of magic fell from my lips like water.
