I Was There Lyrics - Slave Ambient - The War On Drugs

Come on baby, hold me close 

Let me do my best to both, 

Let me ride, let it roll 

I was there to catch a man 

I thought I had him by the hand 

I only had him by the glove 

Come on baby, let me in 

You can show yourself to him 

You can show me through the doors 

And I was there, catching air 

Thought I had him by the hand 

I only had him by the glove 

We was there, in the road 

Picking diamonds from a tree 

Heard a wolf coming through 

Coming through and coming hard, 

Tried to leave the heat and gone 

Tried to lean against the wall 

I'll be there, coming clean 

Like a runner in the wind 

Coming through the morning light 

Rising in, in the stone 

Tried to leave the heat at home 

Running through the morning dim 

And I was there to catch a man, 

I thought I had him by the hand 

I only had him by the glove 

Come on baby, let me close 

Let me do my best to both 

Run through but cut close 

Come on baby, let me in 

You can show yourself to him 

Ride the road, ride it rough 

Yeah in the day I was gone, 

Tried to leave the heat at home 

Run through and run the road 

I was there, coming clean 

Like a runner in the wind 

Coming through the morning light 

You'll be there, on the floor 

Picking diamonds from a stone 

Looking through the totem pole
