Lyrics and music by Nicolas Beaudoing

lyrics

Down There

I’ve seen the way they move down there
No Harlem woman could compare
Nothing like a twirl of her raven hair
Brighter than a dying star
I’ve seen the way the see the light
Eat to live and live to fight
Another day, another night
Careful not to go too far

CHORUS:

But I miss my place at the table now
Drifting back and falling down
Cold without a door to call my own
And I miss my face the way it was
But handsome is as handsome does
A stranger everywhere I go

`cause I’ve seen the way they settle things
Vendetta oaths and open veins
When life is cheap and gold is king
A girl is never on your side

I’ve heard their feet on amber coals
Barren fields, fertile souls
Don’t trust the law, lick the bowls, or give away the blue in your eye

CHORUS

I read somewhere
Back when I read
Marquees for each and every church I passed
“A man is rich because of what he is
Because of all he loves, no what he has”

They’ve seen me welcoming the dawn
With sweet vermouth and foreign songs
Plain as day, I don’t belong
I’d better make my way back home
