Don't Back Down lyrics

Song information

Artist: Saint Etienne

Lyrics

Just as I walked away
I turned to hear you say:

(Spoken) "the words nearly got carried away by the wind
Of that, I can make out this much."

Don't back down
Don't back down, this time
Brown eyes and [cider-bright]

Don't back down
Don't back down, this time
Sometimes I wonder why

Love-town and [fortis-green]
Your mother hated me

(Spoken) "caught in a car outside the [o.d.]
And rain pouring down the windscreen"

Don't back down
Don't back down this time
Brown eyes and [cider-bright]

Don't back down
Don't back down, this time
Sometimes I wonder why

That summer felt so long
I never felt so strong

(Spoken) "and then, a suddent craving
That I might want to see you again"

Don't back down
Don't back down this time
Brown eyes and [cider-bright]

Don't back down
Don't back down, this time
Sometimes I wonder why
