lifeblood: songs: lyrics: slow down day friend


in no hurry now
stick behind the left hand turner
we're heating up
but it's more of a slow burner
slow down day friend
arm out the window
toothpick grin
and
you're a bit of a witch
aren't you with the casting
how you set the scene
the effect is lasting
slow down day friend
long on our dreams
squandering our time
didn't we want to go this way
rolling down the sweet grass
hungry not afraid to ask
where does the river end
my slow down day friend

corner of my eye
you are slightly wild
something happened to you
as a child
we'll get to that later
lean back
let out your nature
didn't we want to go this way
rolling down the sweet grass
hungry not afraid to ask
where does the river end
my slow down day friend

you are black and silver
weather coming
you smell like hay
in the field sunning
slow down day friend
taking the turn
everything upended
didn't we want to go this way
rolling down the sweet grass
hungry not afraid to ask
where does the river end
my slow down day friend

i am not afraid
(slow down day friend)
i am open to this
i'm allowed to stare
(unknown)
so as not to miss my
(slow down day friend)
slow down day friend
(unknown)
taking the turn
everything upended
didn't we want to go this way
rolling down the sweet grass
hungry not afraid to ask
where does the river end
my slow down day friend
