Lyrics

Long Way Down

You knew where you were going
You would not compromise
You’ve reaped what you were sowing
But do you realise
You had that cup of plenty
Surely drank your fill
But it’s a long way down
From the top of the hill

Now I don’t grudge your money
I don’t grudge your fame
The way you left me honey
Well that was just shame
You said I’d only hold you back
You know I never will
It’s a long way down
From the top of the hill

I saw your wedding pictures
In every magazine
I was out digging ditches
When you married Mr Clean
But sure as eggs is eggs it wasn’t
Him who paid the bill
It’s a long way down
From the top of the hill

Well first they gonna build you up
Give you the golden Crown
Then gonna they take a stick
And try to knock you down
And when you’re in the gutter
You see I love you still
It’s a long way down
From the top of the hill
