Long, Slow Decline
© November 2, 2019
by Woodrow Thomas

Run your fingers thru my hair and tell me what you think.
Sit down right beside me, Love, and have another drink.
Tell me all your troubles and I will tell you mine.
On this long slow decline.

Friends will come and friends will go that’s what they say,
But we’ve been friends now for more than just one day.
Our love won’t fade away, so let’s not waste our time,
On this long slow decline.

I remember, when we first met, you were a hit.
I said “Now there’s a friend … with benefits.”
I’ve got 20-20 but I’m glad Love is blind,
On this long slow decline.

Ah , falling in love ... yeah, that’s the easy part,
But staying there, … that’s what’s hard.
Teach me what I need to know and we’ll be fine,
On this long slow decline.

How much time we’ve got left is hard to tell,
But one thing’s for certain, Babe, we’ll raise some Hell.
Let’s make the most of living, you know it ain’t a crime,
On this long slow decline.
It’s a long slow decline.
