  • Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down

    Don't be concerned
    It's just the way that gravity works 'round here
    All slowly rising, falling patiently
    Feel no, feel no fear

    Cirrus caress you
    Cumulus kiss you
    Raindrops of crystal
    Whisper "We'll miss you"
    But go
    Let go

    Always and always and always ascending
    Opening line leaves an uncertain ending
    Always and always and always ascending
    The chords seem to pause

    But ah never gonna resolve (never going to resolve)
    Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
    Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
    Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)

    Ah talk to me
    Talk to me
    C'mon talk to me
    Talk to me
    Yeah talk to me
    Talk to me
    Ah

    And wake me up
    C'mon wake me up

    Waking up dry
    Waking up dusty
    Feeling remorse
    Feeling thirsty
    Bring me a cup
    Bring me water

    We can ascend
    From this arrangement
    We can see fate
    As entertainment
    Bring me a cup
    But bring me water
    Yeah, bring me water

    Always and always and always ascending
    The Shepard misleads so you think you're transcending
    Always and always and always ascending
    Pause the progression

    But ah never gonna resolve (never going to resolve)
    Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
    Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)
    Never going to resolve (never going to resolve)

    Ah talk to me
    Talk to me
    C'mon talk to me
    Talk to me
    Now talk to me
    Talk to me
    Ah, oh

    Then wake me up
    C'mon wake me up

    Waking up dry
    Waking up dusty
    Feeling remorse
    Feeling thirsty
    Bring me a cup
    And bring me water
    Yeah, bring me water
    Yeah, bring me water
    Bring me water
    Bring me water, yeah

    Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down
    Put your ladder down

    Cirrus caress you
    Cumulus kiss you
    Raindrops of crystal
    Whisper "we'll miss you"
    But go
    Let go Writer/s: Alexander Paul Kapranos Huntley, Julian Victor Corrie, Paul Robert Thomson, Robert Hardy, Samuel Potter
