lyrics

Down, down baby down by the riverside
Sweet, sweet baby I'll never let you go
and if I do, call the doctor cause I've surely gone out of my mind
We buried the love, it came up daisies, bleeding out, calling to me
Everything looks better in hindsight, look to close and I can't breathe

But then all I ever wanna see are all my old memories played out for me
on a movie screen
till the future that's in front of me will rip me from the movie seats
and finally show me something that I would pay to see

Down, down baby down in the countryside
Sweet, sweet baby waits for me to come home
driving down dreamlit streets, I always do this drive alone

And then everything makes sense to me
I've always driven down this street, it bends for me and sends me
right where I'm supposed to be
And if the road falls out from under me, the rising sun takes casualties
I hope that I learned something from gardens, rocks, and trees

Down, down baby down by the fireside
Sweet, sweet baby you're the one I wanna know
We could sit here the rest of our lives and always have more ways to grow
