Every time I look down
It seems like things are slipping
Like a pan of silt and gold
That's working backwards
And every precious thing that
I was certain that I had in hand is gone
It's gone it's gone
It's been swept down the stream
And every time I look up
I wonder why the sky is sinking down
So low so low like the fabric
From the roof inside an old car
Keeps falling on your eyes
But still you drive
You drive you drive
My don't the stars seem near?
But every time I look beside me
I feel a perfect calm
I'll never be alone
Every time I look beside me
I'll see you standing there
I'll never have a care
Every time I look behind me
I fear a hand will grab me
Pull me back, I'm back, I'm back
Like I've been dreaming
Everything I have accomplished
And I'm stuck here feeling very small,
I'm small, so small
Every time I look ahead I
Feel like doubt has built a wall
So tall, and wide, and deep
I can't get past it
But what would be the harm in
Leaning up against this wall
And falling fast asleep
I'll spend my days here
But every time I look beside me
I feel a perfect calm
I'll never be alone
Every time I look beside me
I'll see you standing there
I'll never have a care
