[Verse 1]
I fell asleep around quarter to four
I had a dream my baby didn't want me no more
I was drowning in a sea of love
I was swallowed up by the water above
Oh water above, oh water below
Take me away in your undertow
I've been drinking from a broken cup
And a long way down means a long way up

[Chorus]
Yeah a long way down, means a long way up

[Verse 2]
When I came to
I was feeling high
I got a telephone call from a friend of mine
Coming through so loud and clear
Yeah he was picking me up
Man he felt so near
When I hung up, and I looked around
I could hear the rain hit the cold cold ground
But there was sunshine just because
And it didn't matter what the weather was

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Something unreal
I won’t slave for them
I won’t behave for them
I will be brave
You can laugh about it
If you just let go
