janis ian – down and away lyrics
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 hourgl-ss
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 unst-tched eye
writ across the gl-ss
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 h-ll
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
