Even if credited to the usual Jagger and Richards partnership the song is a Richard’s composition, a very intimate and personal one.
The lyrics tell of Richards' troubled relationship with then-girlfriend Anita Pallenberg, who had chosen to abandon her romantic liaison with his friend and bandmate...
[Chorus]
Coming down again, coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again
[Verse 1]
Share your thoughts, there’s nothing you can’t hide
She was dying to survive
I was caught, oh, taken for a ride
She was showing no surprise
[Chorus]
Coming down again, coming down again
Where are all my friends? Coming down again
Coming down again, coming down again
On the ground again, coming down again
[Verse 2]
Slipped my tongue in someone else's pie
Tasting better every time
She turned green and tried to make me cry
Being hungry, it ain’t no crime
[Chorus]
Coming down again
All my time's been spent, coming down again
Coming down again (Sky fall down again)
Coming down again (Sky fall down again)
(Sky fall down again)
Coming down again (Sky fall down again)
Coming down again
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
Coming down again, coming down again
Where are all my friends?
(Sky fall down again)
Coming down again (Sky fall down again)
Coming down again (Sky fall down again)
Coming down again
Coming down again
Where are all my friends?
Coming down again
On the ground again

In his biography, Life, Keith Richards says:
Of “Coming Down Again,” I said not long ago that I wouldn’t have written it without heroin. I don’t know if it was about dope. It was just a mournful song – and you look for that melancholy in yourself. I’m obviously looking for great grooves, great riff...
