Lyrics
In my dreams you were alone with me
Down at the apple tree we carved our names
Then one day, all that I knew was gone
And I never felt so wrong and I called your name
Only you can take me down
Down with you, down with you
Only you can take me down
Down with you, if I let you
Give up hope, or go on giving life
Find me another wife, we're not to be
Then one day, you might call again
And if we could still be friends, why shouldn't we?
Only you can take me down
Down with you, down with you
Only you can take me down
Down with you, if I let you
Liquid lipstick melting snow, frankly nowhere else to go
To go
Smiling solo gleeful grins covered in abandonment, abandonment
Only you can take me down
Down with you, down with you
Only you can take me down
Down with you, if I let you
Blowing bagpipes feverishly, mechanically misguided me
Plotted poppy's doggy's dance rattles my cantankerous romance
Cantankerous
Only you can take me down
Down with you, down with you
Only you can take me down
Down with you, if I let you
