Every big city has its seamy side. This story comes from there.
Down Town Land Now loneliness and a lovelorn man Can conjure half baked dreams Where love and lust get double crossed And light slips between the seams The tenderloin of a big down town At money's beck and call Finds guys and girls in troubled worlds Where flesh helps to break the fall In Down Town Land In Down Town Land So where were you when I needed you? I ain’t no one night stand That loves and leaves no in betweens Just ‘cause money changes hands I’ve grown to know and I like you now It goes beyond the sheets You laughed and cried said no goodbye And walked back onto the street In down town land lights of red and blue They shone upon your face Your eyes looked up and did not stop You had left without a trace In Down Town Land In Down Town Land So where were you when I needed you? I ain’t no one night stand That loves and leaves no in betweens Just ‘cause money changes hands The mystery of a true loves way Along the darkened path Of joy and pain that sweet refrain And God damn the aftermath In Down Town Land In Down Town Land © 2008 Raymond Paul O’Hanlon
