Down On The Ground
British Sea Power
Do You Like Rock Music? (2008)

Where I come from, silvery tree

Diamond on leaf, can't you see it?

Why did I leave?



The clipping of wings, the draping of kings

I was here long before you

Now kindly leave



This was far, far away

And I knew I would not stay

Down on the ground I'll be found



I opened up my mouth

Didn't make a sound

I could not cut you down, down, down



I was a girl and you were a boy

With innocent thoughts getting colder

Than it was before



This was long, long ago

And I knew we'd never know

Down on the ground I'll be found



I opened up my mouth

Didn't make a sound

I could not cut you down, down, down



Down, down, down

Could not cut you down
