Feelings

The sun sinks low in the Western Lands (Go down, Daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down)
A woman's heart is like the wind (Go down, Daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down)
& He could not put her from his mind
& Love is strong and it will not die
(Go down, daddy go down daddy-o daddy go down
Go down daddy go down daddy-o daddy go down)


Protect me now from what I am (Go down, Daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down)
For I'm in too deep and I cannot swim (Go down, Daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down)
& He cursed his hands and he cursed his tongue
For what he'd said and what he'd done
(Go down daddy do down daddy-o daddy go down
Go down daddy go down daddy-o daddy go down)


Love love love's obsession        
What keeps man alive?
By some strange posession       
I stay safe inside
My heart's on probation           
It was my first time
This world, world of wonders     
Stick your head outside


Now the ass can speak but he don't say much (Go down, Daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down)
His words of wisdom come but once (Go down, Daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down)
So build your house on solid ground
And stay indoors when the rain comes down 


(Go down daddy go down, daddy-o daddy go down
Go down daddy go down daddy-o daddy go down
Go down daddy go down daddy-o daddy go down
Go down daddy go down daddy-o daddy go down)
