Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sally tells have longed for love It started in New Amsterdam She's gone, gone through change Gone through planes and magazines [Verse 2] And that is all The church bells ringing through her head Some live life through the dotted line Some make the safe bet sounding off [Pre-Chorus] The good life, the one life The whole life, the old life The lasting single solitary World that you will know The good life, the one life The whole life, the old life The lasting single solitary World that you will know [Chorus] This counsel's faltered enough (I) And shadows drag through the dusk (want) And that's the way it (you to know) Always goes down Now this counsel's faltered enough (want you to know) Back through the sin that you trust And that's the way it Always, always goes [Verse 3] Chasing dreams and signing off Through the haze that's given up She's gone, gone through change Gone through flood and hurricane [Verse 4] And that is all Sheltered victory's defeat A martyr for belief in time A martyr for a belief in life [Pre-Chorus] The good life, the one life The whole life, the old life The lasting single solitary World that you will know The good life, the one life The whole life, the old life The lasting single solitary World that you will know [Chorus] This counsel's faltered enough (I) And shadows drag through the dusk (want) And that's the way it (you to know) Always goes down Now this counsel's faltered enough (want you to know) Back through the sin that you trust And that's the way it Always, always goes [Bridge] Our winter is long Too long for us every year And our blood is ice Ice just like the roadway glare The poor man survives The rich man sheds many tears Whoever we are We wish to God we were better here And no I won't say that No I won't be there I'm not the answer I don't see clear I don't know (I told you) Myself (I told you) Myself (I told you) [Chorus] This counsel's faltered enough (I) And shadows drag through the dusk (want) And that's the way it (you to know) Always goes down Now this counsel's faltered enough (want you know?) Back through the sin that you trust And that's the way it Always, always goes [Outro] Always goes down Always goes down Always goes down Always goes down I don't know (I told you) Myself (I told you) Myself (I told you) And days feel like years
