Take Me Down Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Seems I've lingered too long in the darkness
Unlock the door, turn the light on and wait
I should know better than to rest on a promise
But this body before you has seen too much pain

[Chorus 2]
Take me down, take me down to the water
Take my hand, learn me all I should know
Here I am, I'm waiting for you
Just give me a sign, oh please don't fail me now

[Verse 1]
It's at this time we feel the emotion
Nothing is wasted, nothing is lost
I'm sure that I've been here before sometime
Some bridges are reached but never are crossed

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Verse 2]
Don't fail me now
'cos it's out of my control
I'm coming with you
I'm right beside you
Oh feet don't fail me now
[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
