Boz Scaggs Slowly In The West
There was nobody left
Just a burnt out
Nothing had been done
It was hard to believe
We had started out that morning having fun
But with people always
Running through walls
Like they didn't even see them there at all
Got so tangled, thanks again
For your moonlight generousness
Left me stranded
Slowly in the West
Don't worry Mama
Your sweet daughter
Gotta live inside this mess
Though I tried to protect her
Cool her, ease her restlessness
Got so used to the sound
of pearl guns
Didn't mean to do her any harm
Got so tangled
Please forgive me for my
For my constant uselessness
Got me stranded
Slowly in the West
Let me loose, let me hear the sound
Of someone through the maze
Take me there, I don't care, anywhere
It's all the same
So honey don't hold your breath
You may never get to feel this way again
She was crying when she left
Lying to you now
about the pain
Our baby can't be gotten back
From war
Was an end to a madness
I've been told
Got so tangled
Please just show me
To the ending
Forget the rest
Got me stranded
Slowly in the West
