Slow / Better Man (Live at Rudyard's)

from MLC Live 3 by Mystery Loves Company

/

lyrics

this life, so short, so long, yet so timed.
the centuries are racing through the clouds,
but the hours, so slow...
so slow...

your love so far, so close, so good,
is built into the highways of my blood.
and I’m ready for the selfless life
with a dog and a kid and a morning drive,
but would you mind just taking this one
slow?
so slow…

'cause once I was younger, but I’m older now,
the world changed around me and I froze,

your eyes, so big, so kind, so blind,
are looking at a world they cannot see,
for shadow marks the path of life
that’s following a satellite
we’re moving at the speed of light
so slow...
so slow...

well once I was older but I’m younger now,
the world changed around me and I froze…
to be born again in a different time
where the future had arrived...
I opened my eyes, I learned how to walk,

your love, so big, so close, so good,
is flowing through the highways of my mind,
so kind, and so slow...

---

waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop
tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
as he opens the door, she rolls over
pretends to sleep as he looks her over

she lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
she dreams in colour, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
can't find a better man

talkin' to herself, there's no one else who needs to know
she tells herself, oh
memories back when she was bold and strong
and waiting for the world to come along
swears she knew it, now she swears he's gone

she lies and says she's in love with him, can't find a better man
she dreams in colour, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
she lies and says she still loves him, can't find a better man
she dreams in colour, she dreams in red, can't find a better man
can't find a better man

she loved him, yeah, she don't want to leave this way
she feeds him, yeah, that's why she'll be back again

can't find a better man
