Slow Down the Races

from Bittersweet Moods by westwego

lyrics

Shall you be too late if you take a little time
For you... you won't get old
Do you have a date with the one you will become?
Oh you... ain't what you own

YOU CAN SLOW DOWN THE RACES
WHY MUST YOU MOVE MUCH TOO FAST
Oh YOU CAN SLOW DOWN THE RACES
PRESENT SRINGS FROM THE PAST

Faster than the flood and better than the storm
It's you, but... you're not alone
Stronger than the hare, you were first on the finish line
It's you, but... what have you won?

YOU CAN SLOW DOWN THE RACES
WHY MUST YOU MOVE MUCH TOO FAST
Oh YOU CAN SLOW DOWN THE RACES
PRESENT SRINGS FROM THE PAST

Well you can pick all the roses
But you can't shun all the spines
Oh From dust to Ashes
It can't take a lifetime

YOU CAN SLOW DOWN THE RACES
WHY MUST YOU MOVE MUCH TOO FAST
Oh YOU CAN SLOW DOWN THE RACES
PRESENT SRINGS FROM THE PAST
