Well I'm walking along this road across this desolate country I got a hundred things to do before I'm leavin' I got a thousand years and a million tears Packed into one lonely week of life But you can do so much with your touch With your feeling Talkin' 'bout mmm... Taking your love down Saving all of your smiles Stashin' 'em in my stashpile Talkin' 'bout mmm... Taking your love down I wanna build you up, baby, I don't wanna let you down They told me before I left my warm and cozy home They said the city lights and the life, sure to burn me But it seems as though folks got to know about love and sympathy I might could teach them something, and maybe they can learn me Talkin' 'bout mmm... Taking your love down Saving all of your smiles Stashin' 'em in my stashpile Talkin' 'bout mmm... Taking your love down I wanna build you up, baby, I don't wanna let you down But I'm walking along this road across this desolate country I got a hundred things to do before I'm leavin' But I can stop for a while and give you a smile if love is what you need Come on and hear me out with your touch, with your feeling Talkin' 'bout mmm... Taking your love down Saving all of your smiles Stashin' 'em in my stashpile Talkin' 'bout mmm... Taking your love down I wanna build you up, baby, I don't wanna let you down Don't wanna let you down Don't wanna let you down
