Saint Etienne – Don't Back Down 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.
