Mandolin

Moist

here she comes in candlelight

setting like a full moon over summer's eyes

in the colden light where water's gone

and the water says what water will be done

downstream and out of town

floating like a quick-forced scream's surrendering

and i called out her name when the elevator came

but it's much too late to be the same



down down never come again

overthrusted driving rain

down down all the way up

and she's running where the river takes her



took your love into the street

cover of the long tall grass of ecstasy

but the city's got to be my love

and i don't know where the river takes you

i remember hollywood

battery of lonesome girls who felt so good

i swore on her name when the elevator came

that the doors would close on all the blame



down down never come again

overthrusted driving rain

down down all the way up

and she's running where the river takes her

down down never come again

into the breach she felt the same

down down all the way up

and she's running where the river takes her



tore me through the world

lost the point of it

put the past away again

had to find that water to be right

but in spite of it

put the past away

meets the light of day



here she comes in candlelight

setting like a full moon over summer's eyes

where the cold lime like a water gun

and the water says what water will be done

takes a stream to centre street

floating like a quick-forced scream's surrendering

and i called out her name when the elevator came

but it's much too late to take the blame



down down never come again

overthrusted driving rain

down down all the way up

and she's running where the river takes her

down down never come again

into the breach she fell the same

down down all the way up

and she's running where the river takes her

running where that river takes her

running where that river takes her down
