lyrics

Black Magnolia – Take It Down
Out of your cruel mountain, out of your role
Out of your blue fountains, out of control
Out of your youth makes it all I’ve become
Out of you, out of you, I will run

So don’t take it down
Don’t take it down
I just need more ground
So don’t take it down

And don’t take it down
And don’t take it down
I just need more ground
So don’t take it down

Well I got to California just a little too late
And I saw the queen of diamonds just before she was played
And I swear… I swear I had my turn

And I played along the city when I knew it would change
But I bet against the weather just before it would rain
And I cared, I cared for all I yearn
Oh and I swear…I swear I never learn

So don’t take it down
And don’t take it down
I just need more ground
So don’t take it down

I called upon the waters that I thought I could tame
And I drowned upon the river when I knew I could wade
And I dared, I dared from up above

I danced along the devil when I saw his parade
And I threw away the only thing that I ever made
And I swear, I swear I need this love
Ohh and I swear…I swear I never…

So don’t take it down
And don’t take it down
I just need more ground
So don’t take it down

So don’t take it down
And don’t take it down
