Long Way Down Songtext
von eleventyseven

One time i shook hands with a pirate,
he gave me a map to all his gold
after a lifetime i finally found it,
by then a was too old to bring it home
it was a long way down.
On a snowy night in late december,
i set out to find some mistletoe
She had promised me all kinds of kisses,
none of them were worth the bones i broke
it was a long way down

Long way to fall to have nobobdy catch you
Long way to call to have nobody answer
Long walk home if you don't know the mountain roads


One night while playin' in a graveyard
somebody's hand reached up and grabbed my leg
It was my dearly departed grandpa
He said "i bet you thought that i was dead,
I was just a long way down"
And on the night before the day that i got married
an old man said "hey listen to me son,
make sure you wanna hold that girl forever
cause once you say i do you gotta do it till it's done
and it's a long way down"

Long way to fall to have nobobdy catch you
Long way to call to have nobody answer
Long walk home if you don't know the mountain roads
It's a long fall down to earth from heaven
A long walk back to there from hell
and sometime the difference between them is hard to tell

One time I met a tree out in the forest
I said "Tree i wanna be as big as you"
he said "Boy i wish you never had've found me,
cause that means that lumberjack can find me too
and it's a long way down"
