Liner Notes

Another song about nature and such like. Probably.

Lyrics

At the roof of the world
Its all downhill from here
Sky so close you can taste it
Hold on to your dreams
Before they disappear

On the ocean's bed
The water feels like lead
Heavier than a dozen anvils
Thick with unknown creatures
Comfort is so hard to come by
A parallel universe unseen
Unloved forgotten abandoned

Humans make their mark
Century after century
Age after age
We think we can tame nature
It has other ideas

At the roof of the world
It’s all downhill from here
On the ocean’s bed
The water feels like lead
Everything’s connected

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

Beautiful vocals and lyrics! Very peaceful and contemplative. You bring it with that amazing first line: "At the roof of the world, it's all downhill from here".

Such a sad and pretty piece, love the intimacy of it all. Great work!
