Going Down Slow
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.
Well it's a quarter a two
And looking at you
And going down, going down slow
Well it's a quarter a two
And looking at you
And going down, going down slow
Tv went off about one, we have only begun
I know that the wednesday may come
But i have no intention of going home
Well it's a quarter a three
Digging on me
And going down, going down slow
Could stay here all night,
They claim your outta sight
Please get up and turn out the light
There ain't nothing better than the middle of the night
And it's a quarter a four
Begging for more
And going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow
Going down, going down slow
