Down So Long

About Down So Long

"Down So Long" is a folk pop song written by Jewel and produced by Patrick Leonard for Jewel's second album, Spirit (1998). Jewel wrote the song in 1992 when she was eighteen years old. This was the second single that Jewel had not re-recorded vocals for its single release. The single release received a very slight change in the instrumental. A commercial single was not released within the United States, but the song peaked at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart regardless. It also peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Adult Top 40 chart and number 21 on the Pop Songs chart. Outside the United States, "Down So Long" charted successfully in the United Kingdom and New Zealand, reaching numbers 38 and 16, respectively, but it failed to break the top 100 in Australia. In Canada, the song reached number seven, becoming the second top-ten single from Spirit after the number-one single "Hands". It also reached number seven on Canada's Adult Contemporary chart. more »

The sun sets across the ocean
I'm a thousand miles from anywhere
And my pocketbook and my heart
Both just got stolen and the sun acts like
She don't even care the wind blows cold
When you reach the to feels like someones face
Is stuck to the bottom of my shoe
I got a plastic Jesus
And a cordless telephone
For every corner of my room
Got everybody but you
Telling me what to do

But I've been down so long
Oh, it cant be longer still
Ive been down so long
That the end must be drawing near

I look to everybody but me
To answer my prayers
Until I saw an angel
In a bathroom
Who said she saw no one
Worth saving anywhere
And a blind man on the corner
Said, its simple,
Like flipping a coin
Don't matter what side it lands on
If its someone else's dime

But I've been down so long
Oh, it cant be longer still
We've been down for so long
That the end must be drawing near

I take a trip, I catch a train, I catch a plane
I got a ticket in my hand
And then a fat man takes my money
And like cattle we all stand

But we've been down so long
Oh, it cant be longer still
We've been down so long
The end must be
I know the end must be
Oh, I know the end must be, drawing near
