Eleni Drake - Slow Down Lyrics

Slow down my love
Cant you spare just one more night?
I'll redeem myself
You destroyed me and i apologised

Rainy days in Leigh
Are my favourite in bed
Rest my head on your chest
And i'll sleep at my best
Your mellifluous words tease me well

But hate is heavy, let it go
And even if you're lonely
Just know you're not alone
You still feel like home
Boy i miss you, don't you know?

You always say my mouth is smiling
But my eyes still look so sad
Well perhaps if you knew the reasons
You wouldn't have to say that

And baby you got scars on your face
And scars in a place
That i can't heal
But I'm trying
I know you've been falling
I know you've been falling

But you
Bathed me in your light
Washed my skin in all your tides
The man i knew you were inside
Well please don't ket him just subside

Why are you like this?
A brain that doesn't exist
Its so easy to fall into habits
But your decline was so rapid

You always say my mouth is smiling
But my eyes still look so sad
Well perhaps if you know the reasons
You wouldn't have to say that

And baby you got scars on your face
And scars in a place
That i can't heal
But I'm trying
I know you've been falling

I know you've been falling
I know you're still falling

I'll go down to the river
Soak my skin in
I forgive ya
I know you never really meant to hurt me, well hopefully

And i'll conclude with all my debts to you
How do i pay you back for your aptitude?
Thank you for the sun that you proved
Doesn't just shine in the sky thats blue
Doesn't just shine in the sky thats blue
