DEEP DOWN
Written by Sara So Far

 

The sun on the rich

The sun on the poor

Until she sheds her rays

she then may shine no more

 

Minds at rest

Minds that overflow

Minds that stand the test

and those that stay below

 

So I’ll pour your drink and you pour mine

let us toast to life, so chique and refined

Toast to the passion that unites us as lovers

and the curtain of green that conceals our troubles

 

Deep down, deep, deep down

I know there’s a reason, a reason for it all

A regular meeting between luck and trouble

I feel there’s a beauty, a beauty to it all

The charming dance between the palace and the rubble

 

The rain on the good days

The rain on the bad

Rain has its refreshing ways

but sometimes it makes me mad

 

Anxiety of lacking

Anxiety of owning

The anxiety of befriending

overtaking the precious lonely           

 

So I’ll pour your drink and you pour mine

let us toast to life, so chique and refined

Toast to the passion that unites us as lovers

and the curtain of green that conceals our troubles

 

Deep down, deep, deep down

I know there’s a reason, a reason for it all

A regular meeting between luck and trouble

I feel there’s a beauty, a beauty to it all

The charming dance between the palace and the rubble
