Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
Cross the water home through the town
Past the shadows that fall down wherever we meet
Pretty soon now I won't come around
[Chorus]
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly fallen to her knees
[Verse 2]
Take the way home, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
[Verse 3]
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
Where all the bodies hang on the air
If she remembers, she hides it whenever we meet
Either way now, I don't really care 'cause I'm gone from there
[Chorus]
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
[Verse 4]
She's down on her knees
Down on her knees
[Verse 5]
Take the way home that leads back to Sullivan Street
Where I'm just another rider burned to the ground
Come tumbling down
[Chorus]
I'm almost drowning in her sea
She's nearly crawling on her knees
It's almost everything I need
[Outro]
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on, down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
I'm down on my knees
