Slow Burn Lyrics

Son Volt Slow Burn

[Verse 1]
It's been a long way around
Full circle feet on the ground
There's no fool like a new fool
No empathy refined from hell

[Chorus 1]
Not going back to tracks left behind
Hopes of heaven on high
With irons in the fire

[Verse 2]
Close on the heels
Months of heart-in-mouth days
Slow burn awakening
Foggy dreams of daylight

[Chorus 2]
We've watched souls feed on the bottom
Tilting at windmills
For way too long

[Outro]
With a heart like yours, you'll withstand the fight
Every tunnel reaches the light
With a heart like yours, you'll withstand the fight
Every tunnel reaches the light
