Vortex Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When my love comes down
Down to see you
When my love comes down
Down to see you
I just want to be with you
When my love comes down
Down to see you

[Chorus]
Come on, come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong
Come on
Step into the vortex of where you belong

[Verse 2]
I just want to hold your hand
I just want to hold your hand
I got, I got no other plans
I just want to hold your hand

[Chorus]
And come on, come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong
Come on, and come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong
Come on, come on
See Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Live
Get tickets as low as $104
Come on, come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong
Come on, and come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong
Come on, come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong
Come on, and come in
Step into the vortex of where you belong

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
