You Bowed Down - Roger McGuinn[00:00:00]
I suppose you're entitled to know[00:00:15]
Why I'm making contact[00:00:18]
With acqaintances scattered[00:00:22]
All over the land[00:00:25]
I'd promise you now and again[00:00:29]
That I'd honor the contract[00:00:32]
If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand[00:00:37]
Well we broke that vow independently now[00:00:44]
But I don't know why you absolutely deny[00:00:51]
You bowed down[00:00:57]
You bowed down[00:01:04]
When you first looked away[00:01:13]
I might say it was really a kindness[00:01:15]
I must have hurt to see how dreams sour[00:01:21]
Now they say that justice and love[00:01:28]
Are the next things to blindness[00:01:30]
Well you're getting plenty[00:01:35]
Of both of them now[00:01:37]
And so you parade where[00:01:42]
Appointments are made[00:01:46]
And never meant to be kept[00:01:49]
Unless you accept[00:01:53]
You bowed down[00:01:55]
You bowed down[00:02:03]
You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves[00:02:12]
And you'll long to delay[00:02:15]
You feel their breath as they whisper[00:02:19]
It won't hurt you now to betray[00:02:21]
If you just bow down[00:02:25]
And now every time that we meet[00:02:33]
On the edge of hysteria[00:02:36]
You're helping them sell off[00:02:41]
Some new party line[00:02:42]
I remember a time when you[00:02:48]
Would have seemed so superior[00:02:50]
Now you say "will you please[00:02:55]
Meet this good friend of mine"[00:02:57]
So you're in demand as long[00:03:02]
As you kiss their hand[00:03:06]
But all the applause[00:03:10]
Is for their name not yours[00:03:13]
You bowed down[00:03:15]
You bowed down[00:03:23]
You bowed down[00:03:30]
You bowed down[00:03:37]
