Lyrics

Down, Down, Down

Every now and then
I begin again
I push the rock up the mountain
Though I'm learning slow
Now I think I know
How to step aside
When the rock begins to slide

Down, down, down
To the bottom of the valley
Down, down, down
But I know it won't crush me anymore

Every now and then
I think I see a friend
I push the rock up the mountain
Ah, getting close to what I never knew
I just step aside
When the rock begins to slide

Down, down, down
To the bottom of the valley
Down, down, down
But I know it won't crush me anymore

Love's not a simple thing
If you're all alone
And finding someone to care
And when you reach him
He's not there
It slides

Down, down, down
To the bottom of the valley
Down, down, down
But I know it won't crush me anymore

Here I go again
Faith has time to lend
I push the rock up the mountain
Hope it won't be just
Another joke on me
But I just step aside
If the rock begins to slide

Down, down, down
To the bottom of the valley
Down, down, down
But I know it won't crush me anymore
