ANNIE LENNOX lyrics - Don't Take Me Down

I was floating in the cool of your river

I was drifting in a tide of pure water

Oh wash me in the flood of creation

Don't take me down

Don't take me down with you



My innocence has all but been taken

Oh given to the cruelty of strangers

Who took me out from safety to danger

Don't take me down

Don't take me down with you



Don't take me down my friend

I wanna live my time again yea

Got so used to loser's luck

But I don't wanna give it up



I'm comin' up to take my breath again

Oh love is like a pool of forgiveness

I wish that I could fly with the angels

Don't take me down

Don't take me down with you



I've been caught by the spell of temptation

I've been burned by the hell of damnation

And I don't need to be taken there again

All I want's for this wounded heart to mend
