The The - Slow Train to Dawn lyrics
[The The - Slow Train to Dawn lyrics]
I followed that bead of sweat
To the small of your back
From the nape of your neck lightin' it up
With every drag upon my cigarette
It can run, but it can't hide -
Like the unspoken feelings on your mind
I'm too tense to be tender
Your too weak to be true
You try to make it easier upon yourself
By makin' it hard on you!
But, it's the lies in your eyes
That make me wanna cry -
It's just sometimes I get so lonesome
-I could die
I'm just another western guy
With desires that I can't satisfy
So all the love I gave to you
Means nothing at all
Dear God, God, God, this slow train to dawn
So are you lying when you say you love me
I'm lying when I say I don't -
We've opened our hearts to let
Each other look in to have and to hold
But, it's the words that remain unsaid
That are the words I wanna hear you speak
I bet the birds start singing
& the sun comes up before we fall asleep -
Oh the tears in your eyes
Just make me wanna cry
It's just sometimes I get so
Lonesome -I Could Die!
I'm just another western guy
With desires that I can't satisfy
So all the love I gave to you
Means nothing at all
Dear God, God, God, this slow train to dawn
To the small of your back
From the nape of your neck lightin' it up
With every drag upon my cigarette
It can run, but it can't hide -
Like the unspoken feelings on your mind
I'm too tense to be tender
Your too weak to be true
You try to make it easier upon yourself
By makin' it hard on you!
But, it's the lies in your eyes
That make me wanna cry -
It's just sometimes I get so lonesome
-I could die
I'm just another western guy
With desires that I can't satisfy
So all the love I gave to you
Means nothing at all
Dear God, God, God, this slow train to dawn
So are you lying when you say you love me
I'm lying when I say I don't -
We've opened our hearts to let
Each other look in to have and to hold
But, it's the words that remain unsaid
That are the words I wanna hear you speak
I bet the birds start singing
& the sun comes up before we fall asleep -
Oh the tears in your eyes
Just make me wanna cry
It's just sometimes I get so
Lonesome -I Could Die!
I'm just another western guy
With desires that I can't satisfy
So all the love I gave to you
Means nothing at all
Dear God, God, God, this slow train to dawn
