Richie Havens - Slow Down lyrics

The faces in my sleep Are buried very deep They only surface when I run in circles As I go 'round and 'round I cannot make a sound I hear a voice And it sounds like a miracle Slow down, slow down You know that everything's a showdown Slow down The echoes in my mind They're working overtime I cannot keep them all from testifying A captivating smile Really not my style The pace is picking up there's no denying Slow down, slow down You know that everything's a showdown Slow down The bar is closed tonight Everybody's out of sight Such a quiet light When all Hell is breaking But I keep moving on Until the night is gone I've got just one more chance And that chance I'm taking Slow down, slow down You know that everything's a showdown Slow down Slow down, slow down You know that everything's a showdown Slow down Slow down, slow down You know that everything's a showdown Slow down
