Martha Wainwright - So Down lyrics

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 d** 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
