about

inspired by (and some lines borrowed from) George MacDonald's "Phantastes"

lyrics

there is something wrong/where the hell are you?/i wanna give you my all/don't you want me to?/but first we gotta make ends meet/that's yours and mine/if you fly over a pit of depression/it just might be mine/when ya gonna come on down?/i can only look up for so long/now i'm under the ground/and i can't see a i can't see a/must i pull you in for you to pull me out?/if you don't like these funny little devils/must i cast them out?/oh must i lose my goods for good to come my way?/is the answer to this riddle so ridiculously simple?/is my suffering all in vain?/when ya gonna come on down?/i can only look up for so long/now i'm under the ground/and i can't see a i can't see a thing/i know you're around 'cause i hear about you everywhere/when ya gonna come on down/and rid this silly face here of its frown?/now i was indeed in a pitiful plight/stuck in a room with only me inside/at night in my dreams i'd walk the wide open country/but the day took them away and i would cry/so i'd spend each day in disconsolation waiting only for the beauty of my dreams/until one day i was startled by a woman's voice singing/i got up and put my ear against the door/she said 'from the narrow desert oh man of pride/come into the house so high and wide'/hardly knowing what i did i opened the door/why had i never done this before?!/when ya gonna come on down?/i can only look up for so long/now i'm under the ground/and i can't see a i can't see a thing/i know you're around 'cause i hear about you everywhere/when ya gonna come on down/and rid this silly face here of its frown?
