Lyrics

You were down when I met you, but Deep in your eyes I could see the sign Of a thousand drummers drumming And a hundred singers singing songs of love Whatever they knew about it Love Whatever it meant to them So we all met up after school And you took us home into your room You'd skip class and drummed all day So I put my books down and picked up the camera Was it you that I filmed Upon the eight millimeter? You'd run And I'd follow I've stayed and you've gone She was in Chicago where the streets are paved With all those names of our heroes And our dreams we tried But the house was razed And left an empty lot I know that you won't cry about it Hiding Hiding the tears in your eyes You'd run And I'd follow I've stayed and you've gone Snow will fall in late October The nights are darker without you here
