Downtown's Lights

One, two, three, four

Mother, sister, comfort me

Feels so wet and cold

And downtown's lights look like a fire

As I'm headed out in the snow

You know, I've come to live one thousand lives

And to die one thousand deaths

But lately, baby got me scared

I ain't got too much left

I watch the time fly

Like a sparrow

I watch the lights die

Off like dominoes

Uh, uh

The church bells were ringing

And the church bells, they cried

And the church bells sang inside my heart

Night before she died

And Jesus came to me

He put a song, into my ear

He said let it fall right out your mouth

For the whole, wide world to hear

And, so, I opened wide

And out came the tide

And I let them know what to follow

And I cried mother, sister

Won't you come for me?

Downtown's locked up for the night

And I don't have a key

Mother, sister, comfort me

Feels so wet and cold

And downtown's lights look like a fire

As I'm headed off towards the show

You know, I've come to live one thousand lives

And to die one thousand deaths

And lately, baby got me scared

That I ain't got too much left

But the one that I'd spent with you

The best that I ever had

One, two, three, four
