Son Volt - Left A Slide lyrics
[Son Volt - Left A Slide lyrics]
The pattern doesn't match
Pictures fall from their base
Pulling out of the race
Put up the red flag matters close at hand
Cross over the plan
You get so diffused
You wanna kiss the ground leave no sound
Take it up next year chalk it up to remember
Wasted lonely fever
The way we've tried
Left a slide into harm's way
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
Let it rest on past pages and signs
Pull the stops out, let it unwind
And it's reaching and finding nothing
Weighted down one dale below the hill
Minefield's the word from the start
Watching out for the worst
Never clear till it hurts
Call it off to make amends
This life burns down from both ends
The way we've tried
Left a slide into harm's way
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
Let it rest on past pages and signs
Pull the stops out, let it unwind
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
Pictures fall from their base
Pulling out of the race
Put up the red flag matters close at hand
Cross over the plan
You get so diffused
You wanna kiss the ground leave no sound
Take it up next year chalk it up to remember
Wasted lonely fever
The way we've tried
Left a slide into harm's way
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
Let it rest on past pages and signs
Pull the stops out, let it unwind
And it's reaching and finding nothing
Weighted down one dale below the hill
Minefield's the word from the start
Watching out for the worst
Never clear till it hurts
Call it off to make amends
This life burns down from both ends
The way we've tried
Left a slide into harm's way
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
Let it rest on past pages and signs
Pull the stops out, let it unwind
Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
