Take Me Down Lyrics by Keith Harkin

On Mercy Street

2016

[Verse 1]
Take me down to the waves where the birds and the water flows
Take me down to the wishin’ well where the pennies glow
Let the water clean my soul and bring me home
Take me down to the garden where the man paints a purple rose
[Pre-Chorus]
And the man with the canvas, I bet he has all the answers
Yeah, I guess he’s figured this out
Well, these hearts are oh so taken and these souls are always breakin’
No, I just can’t stand the sun
[Chorus]
Someone, please, take me down, down, down
Take me down to the king, we’ll stand on his wall in China
Take me down where the pharaohs lay
Take me down to where they hide her in that galleria
Put me inside the frame
Take me to my Mona Lisa
Take me to my Mona Lisa, won’t you please once
Take me to my Mona Lisa
Ooh
Put me inside her frame
[Verse 2]
I don’t wanna be the one who skims the pages
I wanna write this book
I don’t wanna be the one that is afraid to take a second look
[Pre-Chorus]
And the man with the canvas, I bet he has all the answers
Yeah, I guess he’s figured this out
Well, these hearts are oh so taken and these souls, they’re always breakin’
No, I just can’t stand the sun
[Chorus]
Someone, please, please, take me down, down, down
Take me down to the king, we’ll stand on his wall in China
Take me down where the pharaohs lay
Take me down to where they hide her in that galleria
Put me inside the frame
Take me to my Mona Lisa
Take me to my Mona Lisa, won’t you please
Take me to my Mona Lisa
Ooh
Put me inside her frame
Hooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Hooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
And the man with the canvas, I bet he has all the answers
Yeah, I guess he’s figured this out
Well, these hearts are oh so taken and these souls, they’re always breakin’
No, I just can’t stand the sun
[Chorus]
Someone take me down, down, down
Take me down to the king, we’ll stand on his wall in China
Take me down where the pharaohs lay
Take me down to where they hide her in that galleria
Let me inside the frame
Take me to my Mona Lisa
Take me to my Mona Lisa, won’t you please, just once
Take me to my Mona Lisa
Ooh
Put me inside, won’t you put me inside
Won’t you put me inside her frame
