Hopin' That You'd Slow Down Lyrics

I was tumbling through your shadow
as you were dancing in the rain
I was learning the steps as I followed
the disappearing tracks that remained
And I was hoping that you'd slow down
so I could catch a glimpse of you
I was hoping that you'd slow down

I saw you imitating the ravens
but you never seemed to tire
On your glorious flight toward the heavens
you were as perfect as a high wire

And I was hoping that you'd slow down
so I could catch a glimpse of you
I was hoping that you'd slow down

Then the night rolled in like a rainstorm
with the weight of the burden you bear
I felt the emptiness of my soul form
as it vanished into the air
And I was hoping that you'd slow down
so I could be like you
I was hoping that you'd slow down

I heard the beckoning of angels
in a dream I had in the sky
through a vision of a nightingale
revelation in disguise
And I was hoping that you'd slow down
so I could be with you
I was hoping that you'd slow down

Yeah, yeah, yeah....

I was hoping that you'd slow down
hoping that you'd slow down
Yeah, I was hoping that you'd slow down

Well, ahhh----yeah, yeah yeah-yeah, um-ummmmm

RIP, Les. We love you.....
