What are the lyrics to Down so Long by Jewel?

Answer 1

Sun sets' cross the ocean

I'm a thousand miles from anywhere

My pocketbook and my heart both just got stolen

And the sun acts like she don't even care

The wind blows cold when you reach the top

It feels like someone's face is stuck to the bottom of my shoe

I got a plastic Jesus, a cordless telephone for every corner of my room

Got everybody but you telling me what to do

But I've been down so long

Ooh, it can't be longer still

I've been down so long

that the end must be drawing near

I look to everybody but me to answer my prayers

'Til I saw an angel in a bathroom who said she saw no one worth saving anywhere

And a blind man on the corner said it's simple, like flipping a coin

Don't mater what side it lands on if it's someone else's dime

But I've been down so long

Ooh, it can't be longer still

We've been down so long

That the end must be drawing near

I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane

I got a ticket in my hand

And then a fat man takes my money

And like cattle we all stand

But we've been down so long

Ooh, it can't be longer still

We've been down so long

The end must be . . .

I know the end must be. . .

Oh, I know the end must be drawing near

Oh the end. . .

Oh the end. . .

Oh the end. . .
