Hopin' That You'd Slow Down

I was tumbling through your shadow
As you were dancing in the rain
I was learning the steps as I followed
The disappearing tracks that remained
And I was hoping that you’d slow down
So I could catch a glimpse of you
I was hoping that you’d slow down, yeah
I saw you imitating the ravens
But you never seemed to tire
On your glorious flight toward the heavens
You were as perfect as a high wire
And I was hoping that you’d slow down
So I could catch a glimpse of you
I was hoping that you’d slow down, yeah
Then the night rolled in like a rainstorm
With the weight of the burden you bear
I felt the emptiness of my soul form
As it vanished into the air
And I was hoping that you’d slow down
So I could be like you
I was hoping that you’d slow down, yeah
(Guitar Solo)
I heard the beckoning of angels
In a dream I had in the sky
Through a vision of a nightingale
Revelation in disguise
And I was hoping that you’d slow down
So I could be with you
I was hoping that you’d slow down
Yeah, yeah, yeah…
I was hoping that you’d slow down
Hoping that you’d slow down
Yeah, I was hoping that you’d slow down
