On the Way Up

about

Wonderful song written by Peter Mulvey. Peter covered my tune "If I Were," once upon a time and I finally was able to return the compliment.

lyrics

ON THE WAY UP
by Peter Mulvey
standard tuning, capo II

On the way up - I felt clean

Driving along in a waking dream

The rollingest hills I'd ever seen

Felt like the best me I'd ever be

On the way up I just knew

The night before I'd been good and true

And honest and brave and over you

It was the easiest thing to do

But I'm going down

I'm going down to where my demons are

I'm going down

I'm going down

Wave if you see me from afar

On your way up

On your way up, understand

I wish I'd put so much more in your hand

The better pat of this heart's bitter land

I swear there is more here than sand
On your way up, think of me

I'll think of you and we'll think of we

And you will always mean what you mean to me
One day we'll look back and see

but I'm going down

I'm going down to where my angels live

I'm going down
, 
I'm going down

Please, remember; please, forgive
