Reach Down Lyrics by Temple of the Dog

Reach Down Lyrics

    I had a dream the other night
    You were in a bar in the corner on a chair
    Wearing a long white leather coat
    Purple glasses and glitter in your hair
    And you said hey this is where I'm gonna sit
    And buy you a drink someday
    You were going to the dog shows
    But you kinda lost your way
    You say now I got all this room
    And no money to decorate it, so some
    Local customer put me in touch with the man
    Upstairs, he said little man you got no
    Business gettin' frustrated, you gotta rest
    You gotta rest you gotta reach down

    And pick the crowd up
    Carry back in your hands
    To the promised land

    Now I had some angel shine my wings, she said
    Nothin' but the best for the golden boy
    She made me promise not to tell I had her under
    A spell singing golden words in a broken voice
    And I caught some blessing on the wind I'm
    Feeling lighter than a whisper from a dove
    I've got no hands to tie behind my back
    And I'm sparking like a heart attack, now I've got
    Room to spread my wings and my messages of
    Love, yes love was my drug, but that's not
    What I died of, so don't think of me
    Crying louder than some billion dollar baby
    Cause I gotta rest I gotta rest I gotta

    Reach down and pick the
    Crowd up, carry back in my
    Hand to the promised land
