Down

It’s almost 
Over
I’m longing 
I’m lost 

From chaos to chaos
You know how they treat us
 
And she sang
Have you gotten down on yourself
Kicking up dust 
When there stands nobody else
Have you gotten down on yourself

So homely
I’m only
So homely
We grow
So lonely

So you’re welcome here 
Just as long as you stay
This morning is not goodbye

And she sang
Have you gotten down on yourself
Have you found yourself kicking up dust
When there stands nobody else
Have you gotten down on yourself

It’s almost 
Over
I’m longing
I’m lost
So homely
I’m only 
So homely

You know me now
This don’t mean no
It doesn’t make easy to speak
But you know me now
