DOWN TO EARTH

Down to earth, like a leaf in autumn Down to earth, forever down A second birth isn’t what I’m asking I can feel my feet above the ground Down to earth, I’m going home now Down to earth, I feel so down And when I’m down I start wondering what to do when the sun comes up And there’s nobody left here but me I’ve been wondering what to say when that morning sun reveals what I couldn’t see And I’ve been walking through the desert with no shoes on my feet Getting further away from the sea And I’ll be walking round in circles when that red sun sets I’m getting further away from me Down to earth, like a leaf in autumn Down to earth, forever down Down to earth, I’m so alone now So alone, I get so down Down to earth, I’m going home now I feel I’m sinking back down to earth And when I’m down I start wondering what to do when the sun comes up And there’s nobody left here but me I’ve been wondering what to say when the morning sun reveals what I couldn’t see And I’ve been walking through the desert with no shoes on my feet Getting further away from the sea And I’ll be walking round in circles when that red sun sets I’m getting further away from me And I’ll be picking up the pieces of a lifelong dream When the darkness over shadows me And I’ll be bathing in the moonlight as another damning angel comes to take another piece out of me Down to earth, like a leaf in autumn
