Slow Burn* from Digital Sculpture by Bat Bennett

Slow Burn Bat Bennett/Ron Crowder

Well I was all set to leave you when you broke me up
Sifting all of my reasons through a paper cup
‘Cause I can’t help but feel like I’m not good enough oh no
But I can’t stand to love you and I’m gonna crack
I’ma leave in the morning, but I’m comin’ back
I’ma love you baby, I got nowhere else to go
I’ll be coming home

You & I light the fire, holding on we conspire
Keep it warm, fan the flame, I’ll be home
Keep it at a Slow Burn- All that I require
Slow Burn- Come to the fire

Babe believe me, I just want to let you know
We can hold this thing together- have a chance to let it grow
The beginning doesn’t seem so long ago
When we burned away the winter waiting for the afterglow

You know I came here for lovin’- you won’t give me none
We’re either shouting or silent, I don’t know which one
You know the whole situation makes me want to run- ohoh
I’ll be coming home

Please believe me; I just have to tell you so
We can find this love together- buried deep within the snow
The beginning wasn’t oh so long ago
When we burned away the winter waiting for the afterglow

And while we’re shaking off the winter chill
We can close our eyes and dream until
We know there’s bound to be a summer day
And when that day arrives we’ll hide within the flame

Babe believe me, I don’t want to let you go
We can hold this thing together- have a chance to make it grow
The beginning wasn’t oh so long ago
When we burned away the winter waiting for the afterglow
Please believe me, I just have to tell you so
We can find this love together buried deep within the snow
The beginning didn’t seem so long ago
We can burn away waiting for the afterglow
