Let it down, let it down   Let it down now   Let it down, let it down   Let it down now   Let it down, let it down   Let it down now      I always hate nostalgia   Living in the past   No use getting misty eyed   It all screamed by so fast      When life was so much calmer   Severely buttoned up   The future rich in promises   Milk flowing from the cup      I would spend those lazy days   Lying on a ridge   Watching girls in cotton dresses   Diving off the bridge      Is it too far gone?   Is it too far gone?   Is it too, too far   Too far gone?      This was once the country   Now it's all the town   What was once the tallest spire   Is just a building crumbled down      I'm living in a factory   That's a million dollar flat   I'm not looking for Arcadia   'Cause it's never coming back      I would spend my childhood days   Lost in starry dreams   And now I watch my children   Just downloading them to screens      Let it down, let it down, let it down   Let it down, let it down, let it down      'Cause it's too far gone   Yeah it's too far gone   Yeah it's too, too far   Too far gone      Let it down, let it down, let it down      I'm lying in a garden   Carpets in the shade   Thinking of the future   And all the love we saved      The world outside is ugly   It's bitter and it's harsh   We each of us protect ourselves   We're hostage to the past      And it's too far gone   Yeah it's too far gone   I wonder where did we go wrong   And it's too, too far   And it's too, too far   Too far gone
