Breaking law, say, that describes how things fall down (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

always

'that describes how things fall down' is the definition.
('what goes up must come down')

'breaking law say' is the wordplay.
'breaking' is an anagram indicator.
'law'+'say'='lawsay'
'lawsay' anagrammed gives 'ALWAYS'.

(Other definitions for always that I've seen before include "Eternally" , "For good" , "whatever the circumstances" , "For ever" , "Perpetually" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
