Don’t Take Me Down Lyrics

I was floating in the cool of your river
I was drifting in a tide of pure water
Oh wash me in the flood of creation
Don’t take me down
Don’t take me down with you

My innocence has all but been taken
Oh given to the cruelty of strangers
Who took me out from safety to danger
Don’t take me down
Don’t take me down with you

Don’t take me down my friend
I wanna live my time again Yea
Got so used to loser’s luck
But I don’t wanna give it up

I’m comin’ up to take my breath again
Oh love is like a pool of forgiveness
I wish that I could fly with the angels
Don’t take me down
Don’t take me down with you

I’ve been caught by the spell of temptation
I’ve been burned by the hell of damnation
And I don’t need to be taken there again
All I want’s for this wounded heart to mend

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
