Down Lyrics
I need some company
I need you tonight
You don't have to talk to me
And don't be polite
Take my body and soul
I feel so old
Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
Just lay down beside of me
You know what I like
Take what you want from me
We don't have to fight
Take my body and soul
I feel so old
Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
All down
All down
And you comfort me
Until my legs go weak
Hold me closer
We won't speak
Down
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
Oh we all keep falling
All down
And the world keeps turning
I need you tonight
You don't have to talk to me
And don't be polite
I feel so old
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
You know what I like
Take what you want from me
We don't have to fight
I feel so old
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
All down
Until my legs go weak
Hold me closer
We won't speak
On the ground
There's no one around
And the snow is falling
Down
On the ground
It's where I'm bound
To be up by morning
Down
All down
And the world keeps turning
Beautiful song! Second best on the Hourglass album, after Saw Something. I think it's very straightforward... Sex, maybe drugs? Classic Depeche Mode style, IMO, but still very Dave.
one of my favorites on the hourglass album
"down on the ground, its where i'm bound"
i think the lyrics are about a person who is on the verge of death, it conjures up an imagery of lying in a field with a person, could be a loved one or a soul mate, just counting down the inevitable.
"and the world keeps turning..."
