“WHEN DOWN COMES TUMBLING DOWN”
When down comes tumbling, down comes tumbling down You get a little rock and roller to spin you like a merry go round You take a bird at her word, she gives such a glorious sound You run a thousand miles to find your way back home
You toss a thousand nights to figure out who you’ve known and lonely days so long and low, low, low
CHORUS:
i can’t find you
i’m moving so slow i can’t find you and i don’t know
You wait in line, everybody looks like you
They got their hat pulled down, looking for women and booze From the beginning of time, that line wraps up your shoes My youth was wasted on me when i was young
i lived my life like i was looking down the barrel of a gun
and i sat on my hands when i should’ve been speaking in tongues
(CHORUS)
i close my eyes but all i see is you
i shut my mouth but all i feel is you
What in the world is a poor girl supposed to do?
