Slow Summer Rising
When the day is heavy and I'm feeling the pounds
And the sun sets slow as the road darkens down
Tell me the things that I want to hear,
Because I need to believe it.
But you look at me with your sad departed eyes
And you give me a smile and half-hearted sigh
Saying, "Honey you'll never get your piece of the pie
Well I, I don't believe it
And it's a slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising, on the horizon
Slow summer rising.
It's pitch dark now, turn the headlights on
I never knew this highway could be so long
With you next to me in the summer wind
Well I don't wanna feel it
And every man has his price but we're always for sale
And we're nursing the wounds on our knees where we fell
We are constructing our own little version of hell
Cause we don't have the courage to question ourselves
I'm not a born sinner but you can't even tell
You just don't wanna see it.
And it's a slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising, on the horizon
Slow summer rising.
And the sun sets slow as the road darkens down
Tell me the things that I want to hear,
Because I need to believe it.
But you look at me with your sad departed eyes
And you give me a smile and half-hearted sigh
Saying, "Honey you'll never get your piece of the pie
Well I, I don't believe it
And it's a slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising, on the horizon
Slow summer rising.
It's pitch dark now, turn the headlights on
I never knew this highway could be so long
With you next to me in the summer wind
Well I don't wanna feel it
And every man has his price but we're always for sale
And we're nursing the wounds on our knees where we fell
We are constructing our own little version of hell
Cause we don't have the courage to question ourselves
I'm not a born sinner but you can't even tell
You just don't wanna see it.
And it's a slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising filling my eyes
Slow summer rising, on the horizon
Slow summer rising.
