Come on Down

You heard us. Come on down. You heard the organ through the floor Found the stairs behind the door Candle smoke along the wall One by one, you heard us call Down you came through stone and dust Hand on iron, cold with rust At the bottom, I raised my glass "I wondered when you'd come at last." You can leave, the stairs are clear No lock, no chain, no keeper here Turn around, I'll let you through But you won't go Will you? Come down, come down Hear the organ shake the ground Take your seat, take your time Leave the living world behind No oath, no chain No one here will make you stay Come down, come down You already know the way Time to choose if you want to stay... Your chair was waiting in the row Your name was cut in wood below The room went still when you sat down Then every face came slowly 'round No one asked you where you'd been No one asked what brought you in The organ climbed, the candles swayed And no one looked the least afraid There's the stairs, here's the door Same as when you crossed before Stand and leave, I'll let you through But you won't go Will you? Come down, come down Hear the organ shake the ground Take your seat, take your time Leave the living world behind No oath, no chain No one here will make you stay Come down, come down Go on, then. Take the stairs No one follows. No one cares. Cross the hall. Turn the key. So why are you Still looking at me? Come down, come down Hear the whole foundation sound Take your seat, speak your name Every voice will do the same No oath, no chain No one made you choose to stay Come down, come down Come down, come down Hear the organ shake the ground Come down, come down Every voice is singing now Come down Come down Come down Come down Pull up....... Another chair
