Don't Let Me Down

(Clarke)
The sun is overshadowed by the presence of the moon
Night time has fallen she'll be comin' home soon
Leave the door wide open, ah, so she won't need a key
Lock it behind you baby draw the blinds so no-one can see
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let don't let me down
Don't let don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground
Silence is golden, ah, for me there's just one choice
The music of your laughter, rippling of your voice
The freshness of the evergreen, ah, fades as if too shy
Can't compete with your beauty, couldn't if it tried
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let, don't let me down
Don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground
Let's build something to climb on
Making the show a live one
No need for make-up let's be real
Give all in what your giving
Making life worth living
Being alive's how you should feel
Oh and don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground
Don't want the sun to be shining
Raising his eyebrows at the moon
Saying I told you so she wouldn't show
Well don't speak too soon
I hear her footsteps walking on the outer floor
Well it could be, I don't know, I don't know for sure
There's only one thing on my mind
Don't let, don't let me down
Don't let, don't let me down
My feelings are near the ground
Come on back, can't live without you
Come on back, (I need you, I need you, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I want you, I want you, I)can't live without you
Come on back, (C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I love you, I love you, I) can't live without you
Come on back, (I need you, I need you, I) can't live without you
