Down Time

What once was love
Soon turned to sadness
As ever so slowly I
Got tangled up in your madness.

It started so right,
Then out went the light.
The well turned dry now
I can't remember our last kiss.

    'Cause you fell down, broke your crown, went 'round the bend,
    I followed you, fell down too, end over end

I'm counting sheep,
But I can't sleep
'Cause I don't know where you go
Or how to find you.

       Said you needed to try to find
       Some place to sit and clear your mind
       Said you needed a little
       Down Time.

Like Jack and Jill
We went running up that hill.
Made a deal with God but
He only laughed in our faces.

Now I'm alone
Cursing the phone
Crawling the walls with just
Silence to fill up the spaces.

    'Cause you fell down, broke your crown, tears replaced laughter
    I followed you, fell down too, tumbling after

My Little Boy Blue
I can't get through
'Cause you'll just break down like you always do
When I try to.

       Now the tenuous ties that bind
       Like a cobweb begin to unwind
       Now we're both going through
       A Down Time.
