One Down Lyrics - Singles - The Unseen Guest

He had a book of letters with his name on 

From all of the friends he had met 

He showed it to me like a Master's degree 

From a school not invented yet. 

I took the look in his eyes 

For the faraway stare of the wise 

Didn't see that empty bottle 

Didn't notice that open fly 

Chorus: 

So I followed his lead 

One Down, 

Two Down, 

Like walking in your sleep 

Three Down, 

Four Down, 

Any day of the week. 

His legs were no longer his own 

They threw him down on the grass 

Don't let her know you saw me 

Was the first thing that he asked 

Turned on my heel to leave 

Told her I wasn't well 

And I followed myself through the workaday streets 

Like a servant called by a bell. 

Chorus 

One down 2004 Declan Murray / Amith Narayan
