Hank Linderman - Slow Down lyrics

It's a blue sky day in the city There's a cool breeze in the air I'd like to go outside 'cuz it feels so right But, somehow I don't dare From my point of view I've got things to do There's so much n my mind The committee inside my head, it says I simply don't have time I'm in motion But I can't say if it's good And I keep pushing Though a voice inside my head says that I should Slow down Take a deep breath in and look around It's prime time And it won't last all that long You gotta say no To many things that do not matter Draw that line You're gonna miss out if you don't slow down You can have the best intentions You can practice self control But if your only pace is to win the race Then all you get is old It's the bitter without the sweetness It's a candle with no flame If your gla** is half empty it's hard to see So easy to feel pain I'm running ragged Always on a quest In isolation And it's bound to stay the same unless you Slow down Take a deep breath in and look around It's prime time And it won't last all that long You gotta say no Too many things that do not matter Draw that line You're gonna miss out if you don't slow down I need to feed my senses Every day Don't want to go too fast 'cuz My life might slip away If tomorrow rains and it thunders And chain lightning streaks the air If it shakes the earth for all I'm worth I hope I won't despair 'Cuz I need to seize the moment I want to hear it call my name I gotta fill up my heart with this state of art Then stash it in my brain But I go on I just can't stand still It's my obsession And I know nothing can change until I Slow down Take a deep breath in and look around It's prime time And it won't last all that long You gotta say no To many things that do not matter Draw that line You're gonna miss out if you don't slow down
