So Down
Stars are starting, dear, starting to shine
When on the platform I didn't recognize
And I'm wondering if I should've made this trip uptown
We got a long way down
Went to the ocean
And I, I met a man
I took his hand because I was falling
In love as though it were quicksand
We went a long way down
And this memory is a fantasy
Of what I was as a child
But it's getting late and I'm losing my faith
I can only stay awhile
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
'Cause you're a memory
Oh, whoa
And you were never mine
Oh, whoa
Went to the doctor, started to cry
He gave me drugs that would, that would make me fly
And I took off like my wings were so on fire
I went a long way down
I'm starting to die and I forgot to live
I was too caught up in what you, what you couldn't give
I forgot to take what it was that's mine
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
'Cause you're a memory
Oh, whoa
And you were never mine
Oh, whoa
Will we ever make love
Like we did when we were young
Under the stars and sun
We saw the dawn
But now it's all for naught
And I soon forgot your name, oh yeah
'Cause you're a memory
Oh, whoa
And you were never mine
Oh, whoa
Stars are starting, starting to shine
Stars are starting, starting to shine
When on the platform I didn't recognize
And I'm wondering if I should've made this trip uptown
We got a long way down
Went to the ocean
And I, I met a man
I took his hand because I was falling
In love as though it were quicksand
We went a long way down
And this memory is a fantasy
Of what I was as a child
But it's getting late and I'm losing my faith
I can only stay awhile
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
'Cause you're a memory
Oh, whoa
And you were never mine
Oh, whoa
Went to the doctor, started to cry
He gave me drugs that would, that would make me fly
And I took off like my wings were so on fire
I went a long way down
I'm starting to die and I forgot to live
I was too caught up in what you, what you couldn't give
I forgot to take what it was that's mine
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
'Cause you're a memory
Oh, whoa
And you were never mine
Oh, whoa
Will we ever make love
Like we did when we were young
Under the stars and sun
We saw the dawn
But now it's all for naught
And I soon forgot your name, oh yeah
'Cause you're a memory
Oh, whoa
And you were never mine
Oh, whoa
Stars are starting, starting to shine
Stars are starting, starting to shine
