Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been away for so long
You can't ask why
You've been away
You can't ask why
You can't ask why
[Verse 2]
A million stars out tonight
Could spark neon from candlelight
One million stars
Could spark neon from candlelight
Could spark neon from candlelight
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down, down to the marketplace
Goin' to learn to give
I'm goin' down, down by the sea market side
Goin' to learn to live, yeah
[Verse 3]
The tightrope's wound around
Just one slip and you tumble down
The rope's wrapped around
Just one slip and you tumble down
One slip and you tumble down
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down, down to the marketplace
Goin' to learn to give
I'm goin' down, down by the sea market side
Goin' to learn to live, yeah
