| THE SLIDE i know i should have drawn the line a drink or two before closing time but inviting looks washed in neon were more than enough to lead me on a slippery slope a wayward path so i was bound to face an angel's wrath my demons determined to drive me mad betraying you and all we had so many years out on the edge i'm still crawling through my wreckage always hoping you'll be on the other side and desperately hoping to stop the slide a few hours with a stranger erased a love that i can never replace a fool opens dangerous doors forgiveness has its limits, you reached yours so many years out on the edge i'm still crawling through my wreckage always hoping you'll be on the other side and desperately hoping to stop the slide callin', callin' fallin', fallin' so many years out on the edge i'm still crawling through my wreckage always hoping you'll be on the other side and desperately hoping to stop the slide i know i should have drawn the line a drink or two before closing time... harmonies: Janice Merritt (www.janiceandbud.com) ©2020 bud merritt and floyd jane.
