"Down" — the single direction of the fall.
Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game
So I was up for awhile
Livin' in style
Feelin' high on the hog
I was down
chorus:
Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I don't know..........don't care at all
I had a similar dream
of my dreams
while
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong
Now I'm on the way up
When you reach the top
no way to go
And people just don't wanna know
When you're down
Знаете ли вы, что...
- From the Nazareth catalogue. The directness of "down" — the fall, the depression, the movement away from whatever is good. Single words as titles being a Nazareth speciality, the simplicity containing the whole emotional world.
