TALK ME DOWN

Description: Guitar
Here I am up this tree again
A hundred feet above the ground
See, I panic every now and then
Could you take my hand and talk me down
Because I've always had this nervous heart
And I scramble at the slightest sound
But climbing up's the easy part
Could you take my hand and talk me down
You were passing by, you seem kind
I hope you don't mind taking the time
No there isn't too much of a view
Just the power lines and the signs downtown
And I'd really rather be with you
Could you take my hand and talk me down
Something in the way you speak
Says it's different this time around
Could you just happen by again next week
To come and take my hand and talk me down
[November 1996]
