Long Way Down Songtext
von Jess Klein

I had been there before
Old Man Worry hanging round my door
Heard his heavy silence outside
Wishing I could run away and hide
Poured myself a stiff drink of gin
Looked around that hole I′d been in
Felt the old man's whiskers tickling my fingers
As I opened the door and pushed him aside
And it′s a long way back
It's a long way down
It's a long way
Won′t get there today
But I won′t be turning around
Held the cab and sped up the road
To my lovers of old
Thinking about the good times
Thinking about the sweet rhymes
And all those funny dreams I hold
I swept in there ready for the kill
Tried to move him by the sheer force of my will


I pulled his arms around me
Said, "Ain't you glad you found me?"
And he just stood there stone still
And it′s a long way back
It's a long way down
It′s a long way
Won't get there today
But I won′t be turning around
And I don't know how long the road
Don't know how hard the ride
Only that I′m going
Though I′m only knowing of one friend who'll stay by my side
Now I′m here by the Northern Line
And I'm lost as a lone turtle dove
Watching lovers kiss in their lovers bliss
While that old train rattles above
And it′s a long way back
It's a long way down
It′s a long way
Won't get there today
But I won't be turning around, no
And it′s a long way back
It′s a long way down
It's a long way
Won′t get there today
But I won't be turning around
You know I won′t be turning around
