about

Written early in the morning during February Album Writing Month for a songwriting skirmish challenge (a song prompt and a one hour limit). A reminder that even the happiest relationships involve vulnerability and pain.

lyrics

The Cellar Door

Followed her down
Through the cellar door
Sweet smell of sawdust and lust
and I wanted more
Dazed by the fragrance
of her blackbird hair
Down down down
Through the cellar door

Followed her down
Step by step
Breathless under one naked bulb
Scared half to death
Strings of her apron
trailing behind
Down down down
Through the cellar door

Followed her down
A new world began
Drunk on the taste of her lips
Her tipsy grin
Thought I would drown
In warm cinnamon
As we lay down down down

I will follow her now
Through to heaven’s door
I’ll welcome that deep dreamless sleep
Grieve no more
A deluge of memories
Nearly 70 years
As we lower her down, down, down
Down down down
