Every Now and Then

Every now and then

I get a feeling

Like I've left something behind me

But I don't know what it is yet

Like I tied a piece of string

Round my finger

And I hope this will remind me

Of the places 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

Because I'm hoping that you're out there

It seems so long ago

I would see your 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

Wherever you stop 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

Then won't you tear the curtains down

And let the light back

Into this empty room

Kissing in your room

Climbing out the window

Trying not to make a sound, but

With my first love on my mind

You see, we were never through

I never said I loved you

Even when we said goodbye

I never thought it was the last time

Down, down, down

And I'm down, down, down

Wherever you stop along the way

I hope that the wind'll blow you

Right back into my life

At the end of the road

And still, every now and then

I hear a 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

It's like I've 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

... oh, oh
