Down And Away lyrics

Artist  : Ian Janis 
Song : Down And Away



 Send "Down And Away" Ringtone to your Cell 

 												
														   I know your name

 Through every drop of rain that falls

 I've known them all

 Through every stillborn hurricane

 and the skies unchained

 On the unwashed plain

 And the driving rain

 

 Time has a way of slipping past

 Like reason through the hourglass

 We hear too fast

 The lines don't last

 

   Not like they used to do

   When I had you

   The lines I threw away

   Down and away

 

 I loved you young

 When all impression gathered, spun

 On foreign suns

 We gathered crumbs

 

 One or another drifting by

 Past regiments of humble pie

 And the soggy sky

 And the unstitched eye

 Writ across the glass

 Of an unsung past

 

   Not like it used to do

   When I had you

   The words I threw away

   Down and away

 

 On the unmarked road to hell

 All the faithless heroes dwell

 And the wine blood sand

 Of a burned out land

 Drifting on the wind

 Of each and every faceless sin

 

 Bursting through the eyes

 Of these whitewashed skies

 Not unlike the sighs

 Of your pale blue thighs

 Unchecked visions stream

 Each, succeeding, dreams

 On the rights of kings

 And the balance swings

 

   Not like it used to do

   When I had you

   The lives I threw away

   Down and away

   Down and away
