Alejandro Escovedo - Slow Down Lyrics

Let me take your hand, something I wanna show
Close your eyes, and you can hear the music in the wind
Out on the pier, that's the ?acatina sol revere?
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 the other pass

Slow down, it's too fast
Live in this moment, but I'm tangled in the past
