Friend, you mean well I know
But it's a subject I'm slow to try
And talk about here

I know you're wondering why
I hold my head to the sky
And say I wish she were near

Oh, I wish you'd never asked me that
Mr. Daniel's good time diplomat
Just smile and pour another round
Pretend I drown her away, with nothing to say

Friend, you're such a romancer
Think you have all the answers
But you don't have a clue

About the feeling of sand
As she slips through your hands
Do you know what you'd do?

How I wish that I could make you see
You've so much to learn from history
Don't talk to me of brighter days
I'm safe here under these wings

Downward and away

I'm downward and away
A candidate for a better day
These lights are filled with tears
The door looks flooded, these faces aren't too clear

Oh, I wish you'd never asked me that
Mr. Daniel's good time diplomat
Just smile and pour another round
Pretend I drown her away, with nothing to say

Friend, you mean well I know
But there's some things you don't talk about
So nonchalantly

You're convinced you're so wise
Take one look through these eyes
And see what I see

Your one true love, she's like a favorite song
And when it fades, it's hard to move along
So close it up, but let me stay
Safe here under these wings

Downward and away
