lyrics

ON THE DAY YOU CLIMB DOWN

* yr head's in the clouds/with all the words you've spoken/
& I'm down here on the ground/where all you've touched is broken - there'll come a time when I will disown you/yr head's in the clouds
with nothing to hold you ...

* I want to know just who on earth do you think you are -
I want to know just what you'll do when I walk away,
on that nearing day : the day you climb down .

* all you ever do is talk about it - yr just looking thru me/& you avoid it/ there'll come a time when I will disown you,
& yr rose coloured eyes will darken - just as mine did .

* I want to know just who on earth do you think you are -
I want to know just what you'll do when I walk away,
on that nearing day : the day you climb down .
