[Lyrics for Alejandro Escovedo – Slow Down]
Let me take your hand
There’s something I wanna show you
Close your eyes and you can hear
The music in the wind
Out on the pier
That’s the Ike and Tina Soul Review
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 wanna 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 lives 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
Loving this moment
Gotta let go of the pass
Slow down
It’s too fast
Live in this moment
But I’m tangled in the past
