the downstream

lay down your head and look to your window

where do you go when it's not where you're going

and how do you see when the light isn't shining

where you could be if you worked out the timing

and how does it feel

when the world comes back so real and true

and how do you do the things you do to you

if i were a king and you were a lady

what would i sing to say what i'm saying

and would you believe the verses left open

my heart on my sleeve the rhyming all broken

and how does it feel

when the world comes back so real and true

and how do you do the things you do to you

sell me a river and i'll skate away

to the downstream where i did play

so easy minded like a hill on the skyline

tripped up and blinded getting lost on the sidelines

and how does it feel

when each word comes back so real and true

and how do you do the things you do to you

how do you do the things you do to you
