Lyrics Alejandro Escovedo

Alejandro Escovedo

Slow Down

Let me take your hand

There's something I want to show you

Close your eyes and you can hear

The music in the wind

Out on the pier

That's the Ike & Tina Soul Revue

I don't know what this means to you

But it was everything to me

I was free as the sun

Shining on our faces

Free as the light that comes down

From some other places

Slow down, slow down

It's moving much too fast

I can't live in this moment

When I'm tangled in the past

Won't you take my coat

Baby, won't you wear it

There's so much I, want to share with you

Every little thing I am

Put your arms around my body

Feel your skin against my skin

This is where my life begins

Begins again with you

The past is gone

But it still live inside of me

Hold on tight

As we slip into this revelry

Slow down, slow down

It's moving much too fast

I can't live in this moment

When I'm stumbling through the past

Slow down, slow down

Yeah it's too fast

The love in this moment

Got to let go of the past

Slow down

It's too fast

Live in this moment

But I'm tangled in the past
