lyrics

downtown blues
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 a 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
