A LONG WAY DOWN
 

He doesn’t fall too often
He tries to keep his head
But every great so often
He’ll take someone to his bed

And he thinks that he might love her
Before his thoughts can turn to sound
She’s just a fleeing shadow
And he’s on his long way down

And it's a long way down
For a man who's never seen the top
Who's never tasted real true love
No, he's never touched a drop
But his parachute will open
Before he hits the ground
But he doesn't fall too often
Because it's such a long way down

And he doesn’t mind his loneliness
His life’s so tidy clean
And he’s replaced a lot of tenderness
With random bits of mean

And though his cover looks untattered
His pages are unbound
And he doesn’t fall too often
Because it’s such a long way down

And lately he’s withdrawing more
Keeping hurt all gagged and bound
And he takes chances quite less frequently
But soon soon he’ll come around

And soon he’ll take another chance
And pray it’s not unfound
You see, he doesn’t fall too often
‘Cause it’s a long way down

And it's a long way down
For a man who's never seen the top
Who's never tasted real true love
No, he's never touched a drop
But his parachute will open
Before he hits the ground
But he doesn't fall too often
Because it's such a long way
