Left A Slide Lyrics - Singles - Son Volt

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 land 

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 ages and signs 

Pull the stops out 

Let it unwind 

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 'til it hurts 

Call it off 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 ages and signs 

Pull the stops out 

Let it unwind 

It's reaching 

And finding nothing 

Weighted down one dale below the hill 

Enough concern to ride it out 

It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
