The Feeling’s Up/Then It’s Down

By Wayne Raglan

{subtitled “Schizoid!” Maybe this should be the title and the subtitle “The Feeling’s Up/Then It’s Down”? Originally D Major}

The feeling’s up, then it’s down. Then it whirls me all around.

First it’s high, then it’s low. Where I’m going I don’t know.

I will meet you at the border when the moon’s high in the sky

You can tell me what I ought-a do for you

Everyday gets so confusing when you come into my mind

Why do I feel so empty when you’re not near me?

The feeling’s up, then it’s down. Then it whirls me all around.

First it’s high, then it’s low. Where I’m going I don’t know.

Ever since I first saw you when you walked in through the door

Well I can’t forget the way you smiled.

Every morning sees me reminisce on things that never were

It’s silly feeling empty when you’re not near me.

I blame myself for not knowing which way that I am going

The feeling’s up, then it’s down. Then it whirls me all around.

First it’s high, then it’s low. Where I’m going I don’t know.

// Can’t recall the 3rd verse, so repeat the 1st modulated and drums only

I will meet you at the border when the moon’s high in the sky

You can tell me what I ought-a do for you

Everyday gets so confusing when you come into my mind

Why do I feel so empty when you’re not near me?

I blame myself for not knowing which way that I am going

The feeling’s up, then it’s down. Then it whirls me all around.

First it’s high, then it’s low. Where I’m going I don’t know.
