Shot Down

I keep my love in a little brown bag

Far away from the thrill of the world

Come live with me upon the shore

And look for a simple girl

Tell me that you're waiting for

An all-consuming love

Let down my soul in misery

You know that we push through

You know that we were all shot down from heaven above

Keep the "way out" sign as a welcome sign

It's not rightfully mine but it'll do

Come sit with me on a battle train

That's strictly built for you

Tell me you went missing in

A drunken act of war

Let me pull down your uniform

You know that if we push through

You know that we were all shot down from heaven above

Tell me you went missing in

A drunken act of war

Let me pull down your uniform

You know that we were all shot down from heaven above

This old world lies helpless on its side

My eyes click like fingers where you used to lie

On my cross I beg and cry a million mouths

Birth quakes and helpless on the floor

Strained faces press against my window

Cannons fire and all my children run to you

Fires and fires all down my spine all down to you

Turn that 'round and let it fall

I keep my love in a little brown bag

Far away from the thrill of the world

Come live with me upon the shore

And look for a simple girl

Tell me that you're waiting for

An all-consuming love

Let down my soul in misery

You know that we push through

You know that we were all shot down from heaven above
