You’ve done it all
You said enough
You made a mistake back there
It’s time like these
We could use someone
It’s such a crime you see

Down by the city
And out by the river
It’s someone’s brother
Could be someone’s mother

Down in the city
Out at the tower
Someone’s brother
Could be someone’s mother

You said it all
You said too much
You made your last mistake back there
You said you’re sorry
Well, I’m sorry too
This time it could be me or you

Down by the city
And out by the river
Is someone’s brother
Someone’s mother

Down in the city
Out to earn some money
Someone’s brother
Someone’s mother

It’s days like these
I could use some help
It’s a constant search for love

Down by the city
Out at the river
Someone’s brother
Someone’s mother

Down beneath the city
And out at the tower
Someone’s brother
Could be somebody’s mother

Yeah, goes down…

You’ve done it all
You’ve said too much
… mistakes back there

You’ve done it all
You’ve said too much
