Lyrics
Ups and Downs
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.
She was opening up an elevator
On a rainy day
Sitting on a little stool
And looking far away
When I asked if she would like to take me
To another floor
She laughed and said she probably would
And then she closed the door
