I fell asleep around quarter to four
I had a dream my baby didn't want me no more
I was drowning in a sea of love
I was swallowed up by the water above
Oh water above, oh water below
Take me away in your undertow
I've been drinking from a broken cup
And a long way down means a long way up
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up
When I came to, I was feeling high
I got a telephone call from a friend of mine
Coming through so loud and clear
Yeah he was picking me up and he felt so near
When I hung up and I looked around
I could hear the rain hit the cold, cold ground
But there was sunshine just because
and it didn't matter what the weather was
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up
It's a long way down
Something unreal, I won't slave for them
I won't behave for them, I will be brave
'Cuz you can laugh about it, if you just let go
You can laugh about it, if you just let go
