Mandolin Songtext

Overthrusted driving rain
Down, down, all the way
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 cities got to be my love
And I don't know where the river takes you
I remember Hollywood
Battery of lonesome girls who felt so good
And I swore on her name when the elevator came
That the doors would close on all the blame

Down, down, never come again
Overthrusted driving rain
Down, down, all the way
And she's running where that river takes her
Down, down, never come again
Into the breach she felt the same
Down, down, all the way And she's running where that river takes her

Here she come in candlelight
Setting like a full moon over summer's eyes
Where the cold lime like a water gone
And the water says what water will be done
Takes a stream to Center Street
Wandering like a quick forced scream 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
Overthrusted driving rain
Down, down, all the way
And she's running where that river takes her
Down, down, never come again
Into the breach she felt the same
Down, down, all the way
And she's running where that river takes her
