Lyrics Tim Buckley

Tim Buckley

Pleasant Street

You don't remember what to say, Lord

You don't remember what to do, Lord

You don't remember where you've been

And you don't remember who to choose

You wheel and you steal

But you're feeling honey when you kneel down

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

All the stony people

Walking round in Christian licorice clothes

Lord, I can't hesitate

Lord, no way I can't wait for pleasant street

The pleasant street

The sunshine reminds you of concreted skies

You thought you were flying

Till you opened up your eyes, honey

And you found yourself falling

Back down to yesterday's lies

Hello, pleasant street, Lord we're back again

You wheel, you steal, you feel, you kneel down

Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

All the stony people

Walking round in Christian licorice clothes

Lord, I can't hesitate

Lord, no way I can't wait for pleasant street

I love my little pleasant street

At twilight your lover comes to your room

He's gonna spin you darlin'

He's gonna weave 'em all, all around his emerald loom

But softly, he whisper all around your ear

Sweet lover, Lord, I love my pleasant street

Lord, I wheel and Lord, I steal and Lord, I feel

My way down to kneel

Down, down, down, down, down, down
