Bone & Bell - Down and Below

Gave this city all my youth
Ground it down with loud
And crowds and soot and truth

Gave this worry all my life
Held it's hand for years
Until it asked to be my wife

Down and below again, again
Gave my courage to a queen
She smiled so beguiled
Said she didn't need a thing, but him

Gave my conscience to a king
Held it out with meaning
As if it meant a thing to him

Down and below again
Down and below again, again
Nowhere to go but down and below

Gave you my final thought
Cleared out all the corners
Just before they fell to rot
Gave you my final words
Tossed them into nothing
Watched them scatter like scared birds

Down and below again
Down and below again, again
And I won't deny I don't stand a chance
