Left A Slide Lyrics by Son Volt

Straightaways

0

The 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 plan

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 pages and signs
Pull the stops out, let it unwind
And 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 till it hurts

Call it off to 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 pages and signs
Pull the stops out, let it unwind

Enough concern to ride it out
It's no surprise that it's a long slow fade
