“Growing Up, Falling Down” was one of the two tracks on “Chaos And Creation In The Backyard” which featured player Pedro Eustache (the other one was “Jenny Wren“). Pedro Eustache played Dijeridu and Duduk on this track.

What can I say, it was a once-on-a-lifetime experience… absolutely amazing. What struck me the most was Sir Paul’s genuine, down-to-earth humility, his serious, no-nonsense work ethics, as well as the depth of his musical sensibility.
Pedro Eustache, commenting about his contribution to “Chaos And Creation In The Backyard”, from his own site.

Lyrics

We were growing, time was going so fast
Without knowing, we were growing up fast

We were lying down, in the shade
I remember the love we made

We were lying down, on the bed
I remember the tears we shared

We were growing, time was going so fast, (Growing up)
Without knowing, (Falling down) we were growing up fast (Growing up, Falling down)
(Growing up, Falling down)

We were laughing to, we were so
I remember the fun we had
We were crying loud, with the pain
We will never be here again

Growing up, falling down
