TITLE: Which Way Is Down
Lyrics and Chords


We walked out through the door into a cold November rain
Late at night or early morning, darkness just the same
We'd come in separately, we didn't know that we were leaving there together
Say goodnight and go your way, that's how it's supposed to end

/ C - F - / C - F G / F - C Am G - / C - F C /

  But I don't even know which way is down tonight
  The cold wind blows the rain across my face
  Two old friends embrace, and then the night's supposed to fill the space between them
  And I don't even know which way is down

  / F - C - / / F - Am - G - / F - C - /

I put my arms around her to say fare you well, my friend
She put her arms around me, saying 'til we meet again
But something felt so warm and right I wanted to keep holding her forever
She held me tight, I felt the world melt and fall away

  And I don't even know which way is down tonight
  The cold wind and the rain don't touch my skin
  We're standing on a corner, with our bodies wrapped so tight around each other
  And I don't even know which way is down

We stood there lost in joy and hunger, silent and complete
The hours passed like minutes in the air beneath our feet
Holding fast together, rising high above the cold and lonely city
We closed our eyes against the night, afraid of looking down

  And I don't even know which way is down tonight
  Your silent love and warmth they fill my soul
  Until the morning light arrived to show us we had never left the ground
  And I don't even know which way is down

A smile upon my lips betrayed by sadness in my eyes
We cursed the morning, pushing back the light that filled the sky
The hardest thing we ever did was letting go to say goodbye, and going home
So afraid of what we'd find when next we'd meet again

  And every way I go will take me down today
  The cold wind and the rain seep in my soul
  But buried in my heart is still the feeling that we shared within in our arms
  Oh, tell me that at least you're still my friend
  Oh, won't you tell me that at least you're still my friend
