Can't Climb Up

You can't climb up, you can't crawl down

Let your heart bring you around

You fall down when I need someone

To stand up to me and set me straight

You let me run roughshod over all the livelong day

Then you turn your back and walk away

You can't climb up, can't crawl down

Drained your cup now you're all unwound

You never really could talk to me

You're on the train and headed out of town

I put a penny on the track

So, your mama's gone but you're a rich girl now

How could you say that to me

What have you done to your own heart

That cruelty comes with such ease?

Can't climb up, can't crawl down

Pass the buck, turn off the sound

You can't get past no ring on my finger

You'd really rather put a check in the mail

I know this letter

Father, father!

I'm lost in a dark wood

No golden thread to lead me back

Can't climb up, can't crawl down

Left your joy in the lost and found

Can't climb up, can't crawl down

Let your heart bring you around

You lost your joy - you've got to find your joy
