Down Through The Dark Streets Lyrics - Waterboys

Down by old house 

over the bridge 

down through the dark streets 

where we used to live 

Out by the cornfield 

and the sycamore trees 

down to the water 

will you come, Lassie please? 

Snow in the town square 

December afternoon 

Christmas lights 

a crescent moon 

A boy selling chestnuts 

roasted and brown 

dropping black cinders 

that hiss on the ground 

You and I stand like strangers 

in our Hokusai clothes 

like we come from some strange country 

that nobody else knows 

And to go where the wind blows 

are just the words of thieves 

so will you come with me, Lassie 

will you come Lassie, please? 

There's a place there by the river 

I never showed you before 

but when I'm far away 

that's where I go 

Outside it's lamplight 

high time we leave 

Winter-a-borning 

Will you come Lassie, please?

The big blue sea between us 

is thousands of miles 

It's cruel I know 

but you just have to smile 

I'd be back for you 

if I could just believe 

that everything is right and pure 

that everything is right and pure 

that everything is right and pure 

will you come, Lassie, please?
