Lyrics

Long and Slow

He didn't feel the bullet, didn't see the blood escape
Felt no fluid in his lungs, felt no breathless hesitate
Never saw what really hit him, didn't fall down to his knees
But still the end was nearing like the evening ocean breeze
(chorus)
It's a long slow death that's coming
He can feel it in his bones
Cause the woman he was loving
Took with her what he called home
It's a cancer to his spirit
In the end he's all alone
It's a long slow death that's coming
He can feel it in his bones
He was living in the good life with warmth inside his chest
Had a purpose and a vision had some magic to his quest
Must have been the love he's feeling from the one that knew his soul
He was full of joy and wonder from this girl he'd come to know
(chorus)
It's a long slow death that's coming
He can feel it in his bones
Cause the woman he was loving
Took with her what he called home
It's a cancer to his spirit
In the end he's so alone
It's a long slow death that's coming
He can feel it in his bones
(bridge)
Now he simply wanders with a nasty open wound
He's a man whose only purpose is to sleep within his tomb
(chorus)
It's a long slow death that's coming
He can feel it in his bones
Cause the woman he was loving
Took with her what he called home
It's a cancer to his spirit
In the end he's all alone
It's a long slow death that's coming
He can feel it in his bones
