Next Door Down
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.
Can't run, can't hide,
From somethin' down deep inside.
I feel it; even seen it.
Why when I lay me down to sleep, I dream it.
Wakes me up in the middle of the night.
Ain't enough, so I turned on the light.
Says: "Gearle, where you gotta go,
"Is from your heart," said in my my soul."
Well you don't get down.
Take a look around.
You know you might just try the next door down.
Go on down, go on down.
Go on down, go on down, go on down.
Tried the front door, and then a side door.
Up an alley way, went in through a back door.
An' they were all there, an' where is there?
Room of people all goin' somewhere.
Said: "We're all goin' somewhere, someday."
Said: "Gearle, you gotta find your own way."
Said: "Gearle, where you gotta go,
"Is from your heart," said my soul."
Well, you don't get down.
Take a look around.
You know you might just go try the next door down.
Go on down, go on down.
Go on down, go on down, go on down.
Here I come, an' there I go.
I'm not the only one oh, yes, I know,
It's right timing, right place,
An' maybe even knowin' someone,
Who can show me all the way.
I've got to hand that one to you,
But I wouldn't get down on my knees if I knew you.
See, I've got a lot of time to buy,
But I, I use it up and I use it wisely.
I'm know right from wrong, yeah.
Know to wait as long,
As you do what you are told,
"But from your heart," said my soul.
Noyou don't get down.
You take a look around.
You know you got a sound,
You keep your feet on the ground.
You might just go try the next door down.
Go on down, go on down.
Go on down, go on down, go on down.
