Daddy Go Down Lyrics - Singles - David Byrne

The sun sinks low in the western lands 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

And a woman's heart is like the wind 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

And he could not put her from his mind 

And love is strong and it will not die 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Protect me now from what I am 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

For I'm in too deep and I cannot swim 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down

And he cursed his hands and he cursed his tongue 

For what he'd said, for what he'd done 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Love, love, love's obsession 

What keeps a man alive 

By some strange possession 

I stay safe inside 

My heart's on probation 

It was my first time 

This world, world of wonders 

Stick your head outside 

Now the ass can speak but he don't say much 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

His words of wisdom, come but once 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down

So build your house on solid ground 

And stay indoors when the rain comes down 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down 

Go down, daddy go-down, daddy oh daddy go-down
