Lyrics Going Down Alone - Jimmy Barnes

This'll be a bit of fun, we sorta learnt half of these tunes this afternoon, so if we mess 'em up bear with us
It'll be a miracle if we get 'em right. We are in a church though
Alright. Here's one called "Going Down Alone"
Your faith gets tested each and every day
What is now, is gonna fade away
All the ones that you trusted, all in their turn
Add fuel to the fire, in which you burn
Don't take too much imagination to see things ain't right
Before you know it's through, that's when they got you in their sights
You're going down alone, it's a matter of time
All you can get, is what you're leaving behind
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
You're going down alone
You're going down alone
There's a light that's shining out beyond the grey
But you wake up in a pool of sweat to face another day
In need of some consideration, that don't come your way
Enjoy the crime do the time, that's the price you gotta pay
Going down alone, it's a matter of time
All you can get is what you're leaving behind
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
You're going down alone. Hey, listen
In times like these you'd think everybody's gotta find someone
I can't find myself, and I hope and I pray, somebody's gonna shine a light on me
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
You're going down alone
You're going down alone, it's a matter of time
All you can get is what you're leaving behind
You live a lie but I can't seem to live that way
Now the bird has flown
Going down alone
You're going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) you're going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) you're going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) you're going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) baby, going down...
(It's just a matter of time) I'm going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) ... going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) I'm going down alone
(It's just a matter of time) oh yeah...
I think that was the wrong solo that we doubled wasn't it. Sorry about that
It's great having Chris playing harm with us, doin' a bit of singin'
And you think we're in the deep end. He didn't know any of the tunes until this afternoon
