Slowdown Lyrics & Chords By Mike Mangione

Her neck moves with the rhythm
Of her eager beating heart
She says "The soul can lose its way sometimes
But it never moves too far"
With my voices pounding heavy
There was no room to let her in
This night the loudest voice I heard
Was the beating of her skin
I looked down to the floor
Up into the trees
I looked everywhere to avoid the stare
Of when our too faces meet
In the stillness of a moment
She cut through me with her words
She said "There's something deeper going on
And it's time that it gets heard"

I said Oh baby
Baby slow down
I said slow down baby
Baby slow baby slow
Baby slow down

I never been one to worry
I never traded something stolen
But regrets have staked their claim
And now I question all I own
And in this heart of darkness
She said that she would stay
She said "I won't go
But your've got to show me there's another day"
And I said oh
Please come and take my hand
In my broken fall my strides are small
Let's take it slow if we can
Bitter hands of forgiveness
A bosom for a bed
The breathing of a Savior as she knelt and kissed my head

And I said Oh
Baby slow down
I said slow down baby
Baby slow baby slow
Baby slow down
