I once had a dream about you and me
I once had this vision of what we could be
I once imagined we could fly to the top of the sky
Don't feel it anymore babe and I don't know why

I once saw the future like an open book
Now it really scares me I don't want to look
There was a time I faced the glare with a confident air
But lately anymore babe that feeling isn't there

Come on baby take me down
Come on baby take me down to the city
Down where my release is found
Come on baby take me down
Down to the city again

I used to think the good guy would eventually win
But I have gone to places where no good has been
I used to lay out my hand like an honest man
But I have learned through time babe I won't do that again

Come on baby take me down
Come on baby take me down to the city
Down where my release is found
Come on baby take me down
Down to the city again

I once had a way of moving through my life
Thinking that I pretty much had got it right
I used to hustle and run just to be the one
But now I understand babe that isn't how it's done

Come on baby take me down
Come on baby take me down to the city
Down where my release is found
Come on baby take me down
Down to the city again

Take me down
Oh won't you take me down baby
Take me down
Take me down to the city
Take me down
Down to the bright lights of the city
Take me down
And the dark corners of the city
Take me down
Well don't you know I got to go
