Sting — Down, Down, Down

Down, Down, Down

Strange, when you leave me, rain comes down, down, down
When you withdraw from me, towers come tumbling down, down, down
 
Here comes the sound that I've been waiting for,
The sound that tells me when you're walking out my door
 
Rob me blind, defenceless, my heart sinks down, down, down
I can't wave, I'm drowning and sinking fast, down, down, down, down
 
Here comes the sound I've been expecting all these years,
Here comes the sound of everything I've ever feared,
Here comes the sound, the floors below me disappear,
Here comes the sound, I force my fingers in my ears
 
I'm drinking from this bitter cup,
The only place that's left is up,
I could not fall no further than this, down, down, down, down
 
Here comes the sound of someone crying in the rain,
Here comes the sound of someone pouring out their pain
 
All lines of communication, down, down, down, down
My forces in retreat and running from this battleground
 
Here comes the sound I've never heard before,
The sound that tells me when you're walking out my door
Here comes the sound of someone calling out for aid,
Here comes the sound of someone falling
