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   [Incomprehensible] oh, oh
