Alejandro Escovedo - Slow Down Lyrics

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
