Coming Down

I tried not to slip
Sank into a leather chair and lost my grip
Shut my eyes to keep my cool but started burning up
I needed you to give enough
To get me through the worst of it

Oh I’m coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been

I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade

I lived a long life tonight
My busy mind was trying to catch the flecks of light
I heard you say we’re fighting wars that won’t be won
Until the day we both are gone
But we will be alright

Oh I’m coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been

I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade

I can’t help but stop and stare
Your words are hanging in the air
Trading secrets in the dark
Brushing off the petty painful parts
Feels like I’m finally coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been

I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade

I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
