Basement Of My Heart

from Real Life (EP) by Rebecca Downes

/

about

This is an upbeat almost rockabilly country song, talking about depths of the soul and the darkness of the human mind.

lyrics

It’s cold down here
In the basement of my heart
It’s cold down here,
You better light the flame
You better let the fire start

Well it’s dark down here
In the basement of my heart
It’s dark down here
You gotta throw the switch
Flash a lightning from the sparks

Let the fire start
Lightning from the sparks
Moonlight from the stars
You gotta make it happen,
Lost in time and space
It’s a cold and lonely, lonely place
In the basement of my heart

It’s night down here
In the basement of my heart
It’s night down here
(So dark)
Throw a rope around the moon
Steal the moonlight from the stars

So lost down here
In the basement of my heart
So lost down here,
You gotta break me out
You gotta tear this place apart

Let the fire start
Lightning from the sparks
Moonlight from the stars
You gotta make it happen,
Lost in time and space
It’s a cold and lonely, lonely place
In the basement of my heart

It’s so cold down here
Mmmm
You better light the flame
Let the fire start

Well, it’s dark so dark down here
Mmmm
It’s dark down here
You gotta throw the switch
Ooooh

Let the fire start
Lightning from the sparks
Moonlight from the stars
You gotta make it happen,
Lost in time and space
It’s a cold and lonely, lonely place
In the basement of my heart

Basement of my heart
