lyrics

Climb The Ladder
By Nigel Collyer © Nigel Collyer 2017

In the beginning I'd kneel for your love
You and me together in the ritual as one
My uncertain fears I try to banish
When the skies grow dark you're gonna vanish.

Climb the ladder and kick it away
Climb the ladder and kick it away.

Stop your misbehaving
Cos I still need your big love
And if you started walking
Do I still lean on your crutch
All around the world
Before we started talking
Do you feel the love
Do you feel my love.

You've done me wrong, I thought that we would prosper
You've banged the gong and now I'm off the roster
I was in your power, under your forces
Now I'm just another one of your missing sources.

Brushing off the dust, don't need your help
I'm moving on to where your presence can't be felt
I'm gonna climb the ladder and kick it away
Climb the ladder and kick it away.

All your misbehaving
Left you without love
Now I just keep walking
I don't need your crutch
All around the world
Before we started talking
People in love
People need love.

I've closed the book of you, put it back on the shelf
I'm looking around now, taking pride in myself
I'll never stand on someone the way you stood on me
You're already history, now it's time to be free.

Ready to climb?
Just climb the ladder
Just climb the ladder
Just climb the ladder and kick it away
Just climb the ladder and kick it away
Just climb the ladder and kick it away.
