When I’m Down 

words & music: JP Den Tex

Love is a symphony

My thorny flower

My sweetest pain

Born in my darkest hour

My shady friend

And my forgotten soul

This inner vision 

That I can’t control

Yet only love can make me feel all right

Mend my dreams and make me whole inside

Only love can break my foolish pride

A rose that opens

In the night

And when I’m down, down

Oh when I’m down….

Love is real drama

(Yes, my queen of spades!)

The loser hurts

(The winner contemplates) 

Love is this nightmare

That will prove you’re wrong…

The sweetest poison 

In my gypsy song 

For only love can make me feel all right

Mend my dreams and make me whole inside

Only love can break my foolish pride

A rose that opens

In the night

And when I’m down, down

Oh when I’m down….
