Downtown Blues Lyrics
I was thinking about the old times
I was singing the blues
even now I wonder what I was to you
you can never go back and I don't want to anyhow
but I hope its beautiful wherever you are now
I still lie down with angels and I wake up on the floor
and you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
I was thinking maybe it was all too brilliant to last
it came on so strong went by so fast
all the bloodshot days and the breathless nights
we burned the candles we cursed the daylight
and I'm still in the same old trouble
I was before and you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
they're closing down the places you and me used to play
but I never see anyone anywhere anymore anyway
and the lovers are losing the big money's in town
I was nobody then I'm nobody now
and I'm still dreaming of that one big score
and you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
I don't mind being left behind
or living in your shadow all this time
and even your guitar is better than mine
and you don't even play it
you don't even play
I remember the songs
I forget the words
I'm following the wind
I'm studying the birds
I know the good old days were not that good at all
but there's meanness in the air now I don't recall
and I'm still crazy and I`m still poor
and I owe my soul to the company store
I'm Methusala
I'm Peter Pan
I'm a ten-dollar whore
and you don't come downtown anymore
Kensington, Chinatown, Spadina & Bloor
you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
I was singing the blues
even now I wonder what I was to you
you can never go back and I don't want to anyhow
but I hope its beautiful wherever you are now
and you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
it came on so strong went by so fast
all the bloodshot days and the breathless nights
we burned the candles we cursed the daylight
and I'm still in the same old trouble
I was before and you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
but I never see anyone anywhere anymore anyway
and the lovers are losing the big money's in town
I was nobody then I'm nobody now
and you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
or living in your shadow all this time
and even your guitar is better than mine
and you don't even play it
you don't even play
I forget the words
I'm following the wind
I'm studying the birds
I know the good old days were not that good at all
but there's meanness in the air now I don't recall
and I owe my soul to the company store
I'm Methusala
I'm Peter Pan
I'm a ten-dollar whore
Kensington, Chinatown, Spadina & Bloor
you don't come downtown anymore
you don't come downtown
