Downhill Songtext
von Carson McHone

I remember downhill
I remember sweat in my eyes
I remember the bitter taste of asphalt
I remember blood in my hair, and I cannot yet forget
The memory last impressed upon my skin
From falling fast


So what have I to say?
What have I to say of feeling numb
When at your offering, my lips hang dumb?
And so I waved you on, please don′t look back
So on you went, just like that
So on you went, just like that

Still you sang so I could hear
And from your chest
All the winged things took flight
Upon your breath
To paint the day


Now with the dusk I creep
And even if the spring has come and passed
And all the birds and you have gone to nest
I will follow at a crawl, collecting crumbs
Until the day I learn to tie my shoes
I will follow at a crawl, collecting crumbs
Until the day I learn to tie my shoes
