It seemed a long way down from the foothills
Slipped, slithered and rolled to where I am
I've been well brought down by the rushes and the stills
But I'm still doing the best that I can
There's a woman, she was so close to me
And she says that she loves me still
But I believe her when she says that she doesn't know me
And I believe her when she says she never will
But if your not satisfied
Don't turn around and moan
The fire is lost too wet to burn
For you'll never get anything
Out of this life
If you don't give it back in return
Now sometimes this life, it can be so easy
And sometimes it can tear you apart
But to live outside of playing my guitar
I just wouldn't know where to start
So if you're not satisfied
Don't turn around and moan
The fire is lost too wet to burn
For you'll never get anything
Out of this life
If you don't give it back in return
