Down And Down Lyrics - The Darling Buds

I walk past the house that you used to live in. 

Cracked and crumbled, it stands as a monument of our withered affection. 

I check myself in the broken glass window. 

I'm older now. 

The boy I was, the girl you were are barely a whisper. 

I'll always be glad to have known you, Death, my friend. 

Slowly, I go back to the place that I call home. 

Coldly, you draw breath, head into the unknown. 

And I cannot believe how I could fall. 

Keep your ears to the walls, 

'cause here comes the call. 

And we all can fall. 

Keep your ears to the walls, 

'cause here comes the call. 

Deadly, you move from the bed, down to the floor. 

You close your eyes and go with intuition, 

as you lift up your shirt top to show him more. 

And he cannot believe his luck at all. 

Keep your ears to the walls, 

'cause here comes the call. 

And we all can fall. 

Keep your ears to the walls, 

'cause here comes the call. 

You stend me on this pedestal. 

You call me God, but somehow 

down and down and down I go. 

And where I go nobody knows. 

Yeah, down and down and down I go. 

And where I go nobody knows. 

Swiftly, I forget the love I left behind. 

My faults and inhibitions make me nervous, 

as I stare into your enchanted eyes. 

And now I'm on my knees, learning to crawl 

with my ears to the walls, 

'cause here comes the call. 

Ans we all can fall. 

Keep your ears to the walls, 

'cause here comes the call. 

You stand me on this pedestal. 

You call me God, but somehow 

down and down and down I go. 

And where I go nobody knows. 

Yeah, down and down and down I go. 

And where I go nobody knows. 

? 

turned me into a liar 

with freedom? from death and burning desire, 

I'm alive! 

Down and down and down I go. 

And where I go nobody knows. 

Yeah, down and down and down I go. 

And where I go nobody knows.
