Fella In The Cellar Lyrics - John Miles

Take it easy going down the stairs, I find my way 

Just a small light from the open door 

I can leave the world behind but only by one floor 

In the shadows everything is clear, I'm almost there 

Then the wind blows through the house upstairs 

Hopelessly I turn around, empty as I hear that sound 

No more shadows on the floor, the wind has closed the door 

The door [unverified] 

I'm the fella in the cellar, I'm going nowhere 

Locked in here forever, but why should you care? 

Days that I was never afraid to be there 

The fella in the cellar who's going nowhere 

So I cry and no one hears me, they won't miss me for a while 

Live my life alone, the thought seemed fine 

The choice was mine, as it changes to confusion 

When the night and day don't end 

I can't believe that this was meant for me 

I'm the fella in the cellar, I'm going nowhere 

Locked in here forever, but why should you care? 

Days that I was never afraid to be there 

The fella in the cellar who's going nowhere 

I can't be wrong, gotta be strong 

I know I'm gonna get out of this place alive 

I can't be wrong, gotta be strong 

I know I'm gonna get out of this place alive, alive [unverified]
