Down On The Ground Lyrics - Do You Like Rock Music? - British Sea Power

Where I come from, silvery trees 

Diamond on leaf, can't you see it? 

Why did I leave? 

The clipping of wings 

The draping of kings 

I was here long before you 

Now kindly leave 

This was far far away 

And I knew I would not stay 

Down on the ground 

I'll be found 

I opened up my mouth 

I didn't make a sound 

I could not cut you down, down, down 

I was a girl and you were a boy 

With innocent thoughts getting colder 

Than it was before 

This was long long ago 

And I knew we'd never know 

Down on the ground 

I'll be found 

I opened up my mouth 

I didn't make a sound 

I could not cut you down, down, down 

Down, down, down 

Could not cut you down
