Reach Down Lyrics


I had a dream the other night
You were in a bar in the corner on a chair
Wearin' a long white leather coat
Purple glasses and glitter in your hairAnd you said,"Hey, this is where I'm gonna sit"
And buy you a drink someday
You were going to the dog shows
But you kinda lost your wayYou say now I got all this room
And no money to decorate it
So some local customer put me in touch
With the Man upstairs, He saidLittle man you got
No business gettin' frustrated
You gotta rest, you gotta rest
You gottaReach down and pick the crowd up
Carry back in your hands
To the promised landNow I had some angel, shine my wings
She said,"Nothin' but the best for the golden boy"
She made me promise not to tell
I had her under a spellSinging golden words in a broken voice

And I caught some blessing on the wind
I'm feeling lighter than a whisper from a dove
I've got no hands to tie behind my back
And I'm sparking like a heart attackNow I've got room to spread my wings
And my messages of love
Yes love was my drug
But that's not what I died ofSo don't think of me
Crying louder than some billion dollar baby
'Cause I gotta rest, I gotta rest, I gottaReach down and pick the crowd up
Carry back in my hand
To the promised land

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Temple of the Dog was formed in 1990 by Soundgarden's Chris Cornell as a tribute to the late Andrew Wood, frontman of Seattle, Washington rock group Mother Love Bone after Wood died of a heroin overdose. Cornell, Wood's close friend and roommate, helmed the project, which took its name from a lyric in the Mother Love Bone song, "Man Of Golden Words." The band also included Soundgarden's drummer Matt Cameron, Wood's former bandmates Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, and lead guitarist Mike McCready .
