way down LISTEN
(Pier Morandi)
back on the street the last romance, shares happy endings
it’s closing time for all rain dogs, out of the “Blue Lagoon”
while Zimmerman sings changing times, things have really changed
and Sal and Dean they drive away, with their friend solitude
way down, way down, take me down
way down, way down, won’t you take me down?
the movie lights the old white screen, right over these times
the sun goes down, the Seine she flows, down to Bud Henry’s eyes
and someone’s searching something strange, out in the autumn rain
there is a traction hard to find, sounds like an ocean stream, (so)
way down, way down, take me down
way down, way down, won’t you take me down?
the sunlight flashes the painted face, clouds at the break of noon
their book of memory is full of blood, red pouring from the wound
and all the minds, all your best minds, written on paper lines
under the cover of a black-white book, words never heard before
way down, way down, take me down
way down, way down, won’t you take me down?
to hear the silence, to catch the howl, to meet the feeling way
to find the garden behind the noise, called mind garden
and all the times the way is up, dark and so confused
you know a shelter among the trees, streams, to lay you down, so
way down, way down, take me down
way down, way down, won’t you take me down?
way down, way down, take me down
way down, way down, won’t you take me down?
