T-Bone Burnett - He Came Down Lyrics

After he climbed the mountain high
He came down
He came down
After he walked into the sky
He came down
He came down

When he was given another name
When he happened onto a tree aflame
Nothing would ever be the same
He came down
He came down

After he met a shadow man
He came down
He came down
He left with lightning in his hand
He came down
He came down

He was a phantom without a doubt
Same with the poison that took him out
There was nothing to talk about
He came down
He came down

When his lover was lost in hell
He came down
He came down
He liberated the mademoiselle
He came down
He came down

He would abandon a life of crime
He adjusted the paradigm
He was a legend in his time
He came down
He came down

When there was struggle in the land
He came down
He came down
When things were getting out of hand
He came down
He came down

After he set the prisoners free
After they hung him from a tree
Nothing was as it used to be
He came down
He came down

Then after all was said and done
He came down
He came down
He found his one and only one
He came down
He came down

Out on the highway traveling south
Leaving a life he could live without
Nothing was bitter in his mouth
He came down
He came down
