When the mornin' comes
You'll know by my shoes I've been out walking

If I don't return
You'll know I've found something to believe in, to believe in

Waiting for the sun
My heart will surely break if it starts raining

It's the oasis I seek
'Cause the sand of the desert makes me thirsty, makes me thirsty
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bachman+turner+overdrive/down+down_20191493.html ]
Down, down we all go down
'Round, 'round we all go 'round
Down, down we all go down
We all go down-down-down-down

If I learn to fly
You know I'll go places never been before

If I reach a star
You know I will dwell on it forever, forever

There are mysteries
My children have rhymes with hidden meanings

If I learn the truth
I'm sure that the end will leave me crying, leave me crying
