Walked Her Way Down
Neil Finn

She walked her way down
It brought my mind back
From where I was trapped
How long will it take
For tension to break
Feel it sliding off
Shimmy like cloth
I left off the ground

And I know what the answer is
And I'm happy to be here tonight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
Before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
And the drummer’s counting out the start

She walked her way down
In silver and black
The tension is stacked
I picked up the trace
A scent I can’t place
Remembering desire
Higher and higher
I lift off the ground

And I know what the answer is
But I'm happy to be here tonight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
But the drummer makes the same mistake

And my eyes are on the shape
That is captured in the light
All went quiet on the floor
When she walked her way down

And we happen to be here tonight
And don't we make a beautiful sight
And when you're in the moment
Everything you want is right
But before she takes a step
She's waiting for the beat to arrive
And contained by all the pressure
Everything you want to become
But the drummer always comes in late...

And my eyes are on the shape
That is captured in the light
And I want to feel her weightless grasp
Upon my heavy life
