About “A Sign Of The Times

Why does the accompaniment for "A Sign Of The Times" show falling notes?

What key is the piano accompaniment for "A Sign Of The Times" by Petula Clark in?
The backing track is in C at 120 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
