The Jokerr - There With You Lyrics
[Verse 1:]Oh, Mary Lou, the flowers all in bloom, ohAnd the light on the petals from the moon, ohThe yellows and the blues, you were beautifulAnd I was there with youRemember in the silo where we kissed, ohWe were locked into love at the wrists, ohIt was bliss, ohAnd I was there with youI'm on my waySo don't you frayI'm at the fence, pliers and a wrench, ohListen close, you can hear my footprints, ohIt was a cinch now the lock's on the groundAnd soon I'll be there with youTick-tock, creeping through the lot, ohTill the groundskeeper tells me, "Stop!"But no, I will notHe doesn't know what I'm prepared to do[Verse 2:]Baby doll, listen to my call, ohWe're not so distant after all, ohYou slipped, but didn't fall, noCause I was there for youOn that trail, hiking in the gale, ohWe got caught in the lightning and the hail, ohIt was so frightening! What a tale!Oh, how happy a pair, we twoI'm on my waySo don't you frayHe didn't fight; it wasn't very hardThat little old man there alone and in the darkHe never stood a chance you shouldn't be alarmed, noHe tried to keep me away from youBut now I'm here, right above your head, ohLike the chandelier light above your bed, ohWith a shovel I just swiped me from the shed, oh[Chorus:]Now here I come down, down, down(I'm coming down, down, I'm coming down, down, down)Baby, I'm coming down, down, downHey, and I brought me a brand new shovelI'm digging down, down, down(I'm digging down, down, I'm digging down, down, I'm digging downDown, down, down[Verse 3:]Baby girl, look at how you've aged, ohThey should've never put you in this cage, noBut they surely set the stage for me to find a wayTo come and be there with youNow, there may be nothing of you leftBut the clothes on your bones and your cold rotten flesh but'The only thing between us now is death, ohAnd soon I'll be there with youI brought my gun'3, 2, 1...[gunshot]It was quick!I never heard the click, ohI guess my daddy's old .38 special did the trick, ohThen I step into the mist, there's an angel with a listAnd I ask of my Mary Lou"Is she there, Just behind the gate'Oh, hurry up, tell me now, please, sir, I can hardly wait!"Oh, he looks up with tears on his face..."No." (no, no, no, no, no...)[Chorus 2:]Well then I guess I'm going down, down, down(Through the rain and the mud and the pain and the love I'm coming)Down, down, down(I made you a promise again I'd be with you Mary Lou)Well then I guess I'm going down, down, down(Don't you worry about a thing, baby I'm on my way down)Down, down, down(Oh I'm on my way down, down, down)Baby I'm almost there I'm coming'Down, down, down(We'll be together though heaven I'll never know because I'd rather go)Down, down, down(As I fall from the sky with my arms open wide I'm coming)Down, down, down(Like the tear drops falling on the last day of autumn I'll go)Down, down, down'(Here I come)
