LONG WAY DOWN
(M Laurent)

Out here in the desert
it’s a dry and thirsty land
I don’t know where I am
my feet are sticking in the mud
I’m sinking in quicksand
I really think I’ve had enough
and I don’t even understand
this long way down…

Down here in the darkness
I can’t seem to find my way
I’m wishing for the light of day
and if I had a spark of faith
I might even try to pray
maybe it’s just too late
I don’t want to be afraid
of this long way down…

Maybe in the morning
if I can just bide my time
maybe in the morning
ther will be a hopeful sign
something will be different
something will be new
I will find a saviour
because I don’t know what else to do

It’s a long way down
sometimes there’s just no way back
it’s a long way down
I’m slipping on a one way track
it’s a long way down
and I wish I could turn around.
