Down from Heavy Lifting by Loose Cattle

DOWN
Kimberly Kaye and Michael Cerveris

Been walking by places that we used to know
Dropping seeds, and begging them to grow
I’m not yours, and you’re not mine
But we’ve always been intertwined
I’m pulling weeds and reaping what we’ve sown

You’ve been down down down down
Down down down down low
We’ve been down down down down
Down down down, oh how far can we go?
Where do we go?

You’re back inside someplace you left years ago
Locked away by one more last low blow
You’re dropping hints, and hiding lies
And running from the hows and whys
Your heavy silence, screaming you can’t fly

You’ve been down down down down
Down down down down low
We’ve been down down down down
Down down down, oh how far can we go?

In dirt, down on my knees
Stand on me to climb out please
All my love won’t keep me buried here
I hate it here

The sun that warms this place passes us by
This town’s a grave with shadows where we hide
But I need air, and you need wild
Love, we’re both creatures of the light
We don’t belong where things can only die

You’ve been down down down down
Down down down down low
We’ve been down down down down
Down down down down low
You’ve been down down down down
Down down down down low
We’ve been down down down down
Down down down
This is as far as I go
