I Went Up, I Went Down

(album: Through A Dark Wood - 2020)

I went up, I went down the stairs
I took a picture and placed it on a chair
Went to the mirror and checked my hair
There was something in my eye, something in my eye

I took the kettle and put it on
I flipped some pages and waited for its song
And from the windows the shadows getting long
Not everyone was gone, not everyone was gone

Turn on the lights
Turn off the lights
Open the drawers
Close the drawers

Dragged the carpet along the floor
I forgot my keys inside the door
Bought a paper from the corner store
And cars were driving by, cars were driving by

The purple sky was getting dark
I sat down on a bench outside the park
Took out the special section on the arts
And watched the passersby, watched the passersby

Turn on the water
Turn off the water
Open the curtains
Close the curtains

I didn't want to know
I didn't want to know
I didn't want to know
I didn't want to know
I didn't want to know
I didn't want to know

I went over to check the mail
And then I put my hand back on the rail
I looked up for the moon glowing pale
There was nothing in the sky, nothing in the sky

I went up, I went down the stairs
I took a picture and placed it on a chair
Went to the mirror and checked my hair
And if I've just been waiting, what am I waiting for?

Turn on the lights
Turn off the lights
Open the drawers
Close the drawers

I went up and I went down
The stairs again
I went up and I went down
The stairs again
I went up and I went down
The stairs again
I went up and I went down
The stairs again
