Slip

Close your eyes 


And let things happen


in a natural way


Let it roll

Down through the ages and


Don't let it slip away


Away old trouble


Don't let no one tear you down


you've got eyes now go and dream it with


The strength that you have now



I've seen spirits in the wild wood


I've seen cause go spilling out


I've drank more drink than I've needed to


Just to find my heart
 in a dark old memory


in my life there's a breaking day


And I swear that I will make it through


somehow someway
 somehow someway



Shadowbox in the full moon light


Call you out to defend my name


time is on my side old friend


I'm on my way
 I'm on my way



I know clarity lives in a light house


on a hill outside of town


She don't come to see the poor folks at all


I guess we best just drag her down


down by the river


for my witness I will wait


I will catch you with my canepole dream


I won't let it slip away


no I won't let it slip away
