Face Down

(album: New Morning - 2010)

Tell the world I love her
I'm in dire need of a way to get us off the ground
When you wanna go your own way your lips will kiss and say
You're stuck with me, there's no way out

Born to face down on the floor in high water
Torn, beaten by the storm that we're under
And we're born face down on the floor
Face down on the floor

She will be your martyr, she will be your tidal wave
She's the thorn in ever crown
Why you wanna wait in fire?
Lost at sea and tired, I will be her one way out, ooh, ooh

Born to face down on the floor in high water
Torn, beaten by the storm that we're under
And we're born face down on the floor
Face down on the floor

Born to face down on the floor in high water
Torn from your loving arms, hold me closer
And we're born face down on the floor in high water
Torn, love on every shore, no anchor
