Down So Long
Down So Long
by Jewel Kilcher
The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen
And that sun acts like she don't even care
Wind blows cold when you reach the top
It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone
For every corner of my room
Got everybody but you telling me what to do
Well, I've been down so long
Oh, it can't be longer still
I've been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
Looked to everybody but me to answer my prayers
'Til I saw an angel in a bathroom
She said she saw no one worth saving anywhere
A blind man on the corner said it's simple
Like flipping a coin
Don't matter what side it lands on
If it's someone else's dime
But I've been down so long
Oh, it can't be longer still
I've been down so long
That the end must be drawing near
I take a trip, I catch a train
I catch a plane
I've got a ticket in my hand
Then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand
We've been down so long
Oh, it can't be longer still, no
We've been down so long
That the end must be..
Oh, I know the end must be..
Oh, I know the end must be drawing near
