Fifteen Years Going Up (And One Night Coming Down) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Fifteen years together
We climbed by work and will
From a simple two room cottage
To a mansion on the hill
Now there's rose in the garden
But it's the coldest place in town
It took fifteen years, going up
And one night coming down

[Chorus]
Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years, going up
And one night coming down

[Verse 2]
Her dreams have all been shattered
Her faith in my is gone
My tears tell her I'm sorry
But they can't write my wrong
One night wrote my story
How a man can lose it all
After fifteen years going up
It's hard to take a fall
[Chorus]
Fifteen years of heaven
For one short night of sin
From blue skies forever
To an end
From out on a mountain
To both knees on the ground
Fifteen years, going up
And one night coming down

[Outro]
I've been, fifteen years going up
And one night coming down
