Lyrics
Always Ascending
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Don’t be concerned
It’s just the way that gravity works round here
All slowly rising, falling patiently
Feel no
Feel no fear
Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper: We’ll miss you
But go
Let go
Always and always and always ascending
The opening line leaves an uncertain ending
Always and always and always ascending
The chords seem to pause, but ahh-
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Talk to me
Talk to me
C'mon talk to me
Talk to me
Yeah talk to me
Talk to me
Ahh
Wake me up
C'mon wake me up
Waking up dry
Waking up dusty
Feeling remorse
Feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
We can ascend
From this arrangement
We can see fate
As entertainment
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
Bring me water
Always and always and always ascending
The Shepard misleads so you think you’re transcending
Always and always and always ascending
Pause the progression, but ahh-
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Never going to resolve
Talk to me
Talk to me
C'mon talk to me
Talk to me
Yeah talk to me
Talk to me
Ahh
Wake me up
C'mon wake me up
Waking up dry
Waking up dusty
Feeling remorse
Feeling thirsty
Bring me a cup
Bring me water
Bring me water
Bring me water
Bring me water
Bring me water, yeah
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Put your ladder down
Cirrus caress you
Cumulus kiss you
Raindrops of crystal
Whisper: We’ll miss you
But go
Let go
