John Miles - Fella In The Cellar Lyrics

Take it easy going down the stairs, I find my way
Just a small light from the open door
I can leave the world behind but only by one floor

In the shadows everything is clear, I'm almost there
Then the wind blows through the house upstairs
Hopelessly I turn around, empty as I hear that sound
No more shadows on the floor, the wind has closed the door
The door [unverified]

I'm the fella in the cellar, I'm going nowhere
Locked in here forever, but why should you care?
Days that I was never afraid to be there
The fella in the cellar who's going nowhere

So I cry and no one hears me, they won't miss me for a while
Live my life alone, the thought seemed fine
The choice was mine, as it changes to confusion
When the night and day don't end
I can't believe that this was meant for me

I'm the fella in the cellar, I'm going nowhere
Locked in here forever, but why should you care?
Days that I was never afraid to be there
The fella in the cellar who's going nowhere

I can't be wrong, gotta be strong
I know I'm gonna get out of this place alive
I can't be wrong, gotta be strong
I know I'm gonna get out of this place alive, alive [unverified]
