Lyrics
Downstream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lay down your head & look to your window
Where do you go when its not where youre going
And how do you see when the light isnt shining
Where you could be if you worked out the timing
And how does it feel when the world comes on so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
If I were a king & you were a lady
What would I sing to say what Im saying
And would you believe the verses left open
My heart on my sleeve the rhyming all broken
And how does it feel when the world comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
Sell me a river and Ill skate away
To the downstream where I did play
So easy minded like a hill on the skyline
Tripped up and blinded getting lost on the sidelines
And how does it feel when each word comes back so real & true
And how do you do the things you do to you
