This Way Down
Trodden down
The only way is down
Down dirty steps
To the dizzy depths
Down out of sight
Well out of mine
Deep diving down
To the rising tide
From the downcast eye
Lay your money down
It’s up to him
Not down to me
To pick him up
With cast off
Hand-me-downs
Or a flea-bitten
Eiderdown
And after all
When the storm
Dies down
Who knows
Perhaps
He’ll drown
