Every now and then   I begin again   I push the rock up the mountain   Though I'm learning slow   Now I think I know   How to step aside   When the rock begins to slide      [Chorus:]   Down, down, down   To the bottom of the valley   Down, down, down   But I know it won't crush me anymore      Every now and then   I think I see a friend   I push the rock up the mountain   Ah, getting close to what I never knew   I just step aside   When the rock begins to slide      [Chorus]      Love's not a simple thing   If you're all alone   And finding someone to care   And when you reach him   He's not there   It slides      [Chorus]      Here I go again   Faith has time to lend   I push the rock up the mountain   Hope it won't be just   Another joke on me   But I just step aside   If the rock begins to slide      [Chorus x2]   [Fade]
