Spiral Down

SPIRAL DOWN

Spiral down, my love,

Spiral down,

Spiral down, my love,

And rest your head awhile.

Sunlight through the window pane,

Dirt in your nails.

Slogging your guts out all day,

To earn your family a meal.

Spiral down, my love,

Spiral down,

Spiral down, my love,

And rest your head awhile.

On the dole for too long,

Days gone into years.

Your husband can't think what went wrong

Seein' his wife in a pool of tears.

Spiral down, my love,

Spiral down,

Spiral down, my love,

And rest your head awhile.

Gone the midnight hour,

The kids are asleep.

Your husband lies at your side,

He's too drunk to stand on his feet.

Spiral down, my love,

Spiral down,

Spiral down, my love,

And rest your head awhile.

Breathe your breath into the cold,

The dawn is severe.

You walk a suburban road,

With your collar pulled around your ears.

Spiral down, my love,

Spiral down,

Spiral down, my love,

And rest your head awhile.
