Dear Arthur No I dont mean to be a bother But every days been like a slaughter Since your departure Dear Arthur My mother said she ran like water To other men who sold and bought her When you forgot her? Older now Ive been running to you Down at the show Down at the show But its over now And the lights are goin down Down at the show Down at the show Dear Arthur Your fiddle pawned to pay the pusher She picked your bones just like a vulture And yet you loved her Dear Arthur Know you could never be no farther
But all the pain you have forgotten Will never find you on the ocean On the ocean On the ocean youre sailing on the ocean And on the sea you walk on holy water Older now I've been running to you Down at the show Down at the show Cause its over now And the lights are goin' down Down at the show Down at the show Older now are you runnin to me Down at the show? Cause its over now And the lights have all gone down Down at the show Dear Arthur Dear Arthur Dear Arthur Play a memory for your daughter
