Lyrics Langhorne Slim – Salvation

I’ve been looking for salvation
I’ve been searching low and high
But I’m tired of being patient
All this waiting’s been a waste of time

It’s no wonder how we got here
In many ways, I wrote this script
By loading all our treasures
Into the belly of a sinking ship

I tried to hold you but my hands were cold
I meant to catch you but I moved too slow
I hate to leave
But it’s time to go

Well, our love has left us tired
This love has beat us black and blue
It’s the child that’s still in me
That wants even though we’re through

I want to hold you but my hands were cold
I meant to catch you but i moved too slow
I hate to leave
But it’s time to go

And I’ve been looking for salvation
I’ve been searching low and high
I forgot that it was waiting
In your smile and in your eyes

Down the hills and through the winding roads
You hold my mind and I’ve lost control
I never meant to fully disappear
Now that you’re gone it’s become clear

I hope to see you before hell gets cold
I’m scared to leave
