Downside

Was September I think when you slammed shut my door
With your pride in your purse you felt justified
Now your head's in the sand you can't take any more
Don't retreat to your downside

The demeanor you hold is not what you sold
It's a shadow of you it's so implied
So where is your strength, have you laid down for ever
Did you surrender your downside

Hang on
Hold on
Hang on

You once were the type who rejoiced in the rain
'Till you drifted again to your bedside
But that time in New York when you sedated your pain
And surrendered again to your downside

Hang on
Hold on
Hang on
Hang on
Hold on
Hang on

Is it hard to admit, announce you have quit
And hold your head in a spotlight
But the lights have gone out wherever you sit
Don't retreat to your downside

Hang on (How many times have you
Hold on cowed to your fears)
Hang on (And dreamt that you drowned in a flood tide)

Hang on (And how many miles and
Hold on days and years)
Hang on (Don't retreat to your downside)

Hang on (Don't retreat to
Hold on your downside)
Hang on

Don't retreat to your downside
