Take Me Down

from Myth Stories EP by Michael Scott Bates

/

about

This song was written during my time apart with my wife. Trying to convince her to come home and that we are simply, better together.

lyrics

No, stop what you're doing,
You only pulling down hard
and let some loose like ooze down a wicked card
go ahead and play it and wipe it off.

Please Take me down to the river
no don’t let me keep on living
dive right in and don’t stay down
cause its the ice cold river that
makes you question your soul.


Dammit cease, cease, cease how you're thinking
and try to think for yourself and nobody else
and there you’ll find your broken shells

Take me down to the river,
no don’t let me keep on living
dive right in and don’t stay down,
cause its the ice cold river that
makes you question your soul.

Tears inside a rain drop from a tinsel man
and until I find my castle they’ll be no more rain

Take me down to the river
no don’t let me keep on living
dive right in and don’t stay down
cause its the ice cold river that
makes you question your soul.

My one true hope, is to leave it spinning
please come home and lay with me.
Oh i’m fine alone but I’m better with you
I’m better with you.
By my side, please come home,
Please come home, come home!
Please come home.
