Slow Burn - Son Volt

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

Not going back to tracks left behind

Hopes of heaven on high

With irons in the fire

Close on the heels

Months of heart-in-mouth days

Slow burn awakening

Foggy dreams of daylight

We’ve watched souls feed on the bottom

Tilting at windmills

For way too long

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
