Every now and then I get a feeling
Like I left something behind me, but I don't know what it is yet
Like a tied-up piece of string around my finger
And I hope this will remind me, of the places that I have been through

When I'm down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

Every now and then when I'm feeling lonely
I turn on my radio, 'cause I'm hoping that you're out there
It seems so long ago, I will see you writing on a postcard or a note
And your stories would excite me

When I was down, down, down
When I'm down, down, down

With every new step along the way
I hope that the wind blows you
Back into my life, at the end of the road
And if I'm only dreaming, will someone tear the curtains down
And let that light back into this empty room

Kissing in your room, climbing out the window, try and not to make a sound, but
With my first love on my mind
You see, we were never through
Never said 'I loved you", even when we said good-bye
I never thought it was the last time

And you down, down, down
And I'm down, down, down

With every new step along the way
I hope that the wind will blow you
Back into my life, at the end of the road
Still, every now and then I hear voice
Singing to me softly, deep inside my head
And it sings till I fall asleep
If I'm only dreaming
Won't someone tear the curtains down, tear the curtains down

Every now and then
I get a feeling, like I left something behind
But I don't know what it is yet
Every now and then
When you're feeling lonesome
Just sing this melody and remember where you're going

When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down
When you're down, down, down, down
When you're down, down, down, down, down
