So Down

Stars are starting, dear, starting to shine

When on the platform I didn't recognize

And I'm wondering if I should've made this trip uptown

We got a long way down

Went to the ocean

And I, I met a man

I took his hand because I was falling

In love as though it were quicksand

We went a long way down

And this memory is a fantasy

Of what I was as a child

But it's getting late and I'm losing my faith

I can only stay awhile

Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

'Cause you're a memory

Oh, whoa

And you were never mine

Oh, whoa

Went to the doctor, started to cry

He gave me drugs that would, that would make me fly

And I took off like my wings were so on fire

I went a long way down

I'm starting to die and I forgot to live

I was too caught up in what you, what you couldn't give

I forgot to take what it was that's mine

Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

'Cause you're a memory

Oh, whoa

And you were never mine

Oh, whoa

Will we ever make love

Like we did when we were young

Under the stars and sun

We saw the dawn

But now it's all for naught

And I soon forgot your name, oh yeah

'Cause you're a memory

Oh, whoa

And you were never mine

Oh, whoa

Stars are starting, starting to shine

Stars are starting, starting to shine
