Long Way Down (original)

Original song © Brian Hardman 2011.......................


Its hard to fit in at the party
Looked for a means of escape
Just as i'm losing my appetite
I found a file in the cake
The man who set out on a mission
He cant turn his back on a friend
Stands up to stiff competition
Knowing it's not gonna bend
If i gave up the part that i give with
I couldn't follow it through
I'd be left with a part i cant live with
Up for a better view
Sky high view from a bird's eye
It just looks like a long way down
It just looks like a long way down

What plays on the mind will do tricks with it
Things that i couldn't have guessed
Churned up and into the mix with it
Part of me isn't impressed
The man who was drowning his sorrows
Thought he was staying alive
Never looked out for tomorrows
Drowned while the sorrows survived
If i leave out the part that i'm left with
There wouldn't be much here for you
The part that i'm catching my breath with
Up for a better view
Sky high view from a bird's eye
It just looks like a long way down
It just looks like a long way down

Sky high view from a bird's eye
It just looks like a long way down
It just looks like a long way down

Back to revisit this amazing song of yours, Brian! Man, I sure do love the way you lay down a tune. I may have asked this before, but I'm wondering if you have ever cut a cd, homemade or otherwise? Sure would be great to have your music to listen to as my wife and I ride the higways and byways. Oustanding work, my friend! Peace. ~ Mark
