Here she come in candlelight
Setting like a full moon over summer's eyes
Under golden light where water's gone
And the water says what water will be done
Down stream and out of town
Floating like a quick forced scream surrendering
And I called out her name when the elevator came
But it's much too late to be the same
Down, down, never come again
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
Tumbling through the world
Lost the point of it
Put the past away again
Had to find out
?Want to take a life?
But in spite of it
Put the past away
Meets the light of day
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
Tumbling through the world Lost the point of it put the past away again had to find out ?want to take a life? but in spite of it put the past away meets the light of day

I added all the lyrics except a few lines in the middle of the song that weren't listed. If anyone has these lyrics, feel free to let me know!
The person he speaks of, if you notice is all nature-based, and when the elevator comes, the person is not there. kindof like a past/present thing where the girls gone..and hes guilty..."much too late to take the blame." I think the "downstream and out of town" part is her leaving all things human...leaving or dying into what is real or natural. he is in the city, clearly gone from her, and is drifting away, and "And I don't know where the river takes you I remember Hollywood" means he's getting caught up in it all..doesnt know where she went..shes a part of his past...losing the memory and getting caught up in stupid society..lost out on something simple and wonderful. Pretty song, one of the best.
"Under golden light where water's gone And the water says what water will be done"
I think the girl vanished or died...while he sort of suffers living the typical life that we all lead, which in a sense is dry and unsatisfying. There! any comments, would love too hear
Also, a different take could on 'downstream and out of town' could be her leading a regular life, perhaps more simplistic, while he lives a materialistic life, perhaps not exactly hollywood as he states..but along those lines, and they have separated..though i like my other explanations because they sound more meaningful
