Here she comes in candlelight

Sitting like a full moon over summer's eyes

In the cold of life where water's gone

And the water says, "What water will be done?"

Downstream and out of time

Floating like a quick force screams 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

Over thrust and driving rain

Down, down, all the way up

And she's running where that river takes her

Took your love into the street

Cover of the long tall grass of ecstasy

But the city has got to be my love

And I don't know where the river takes you

I remember Hollywood Battery

And 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

Over thrust and driving rain

Down, down, all the way up

And she's running where that river takes her

Down, down, never come again

Into the breach, it felt the same

Down, down, all the way up

And she's running where that river takes her

Tumbled through my world

Lost the boy in it

Put the past away again

Had to find out

Want to do you right

But in spite of it

Put the past away

It's a light day

Here she comes in candlelight

Sitting like a full moon over summer's eyes

Where the cold love like a water gun

And the water says, "What water will be done?"

Take the stream to center street

Floating like a quick force screams 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

Over thrust and driving rain

Down, down, all the way up

And she's running where that river takes her

Down, down, never come again

Into the breach, it felt the same

Down, down, all the way up

And she's running where that river takes her

Running where that river takes her

Running where that river takes her

Down
