Lyrics
Swing Slow
The sky?s as dark as the bordeaux,
Your midnight eyes begin to glow.
The music says "just hold me close I want to SWING SLOW.
The hour's late. The lights are low.
The band's so high I got vertigo.
No matter what they blow you know I'm gonna SWING SLOW.
Dig that lazy hushin' sound flowing all the while
All that crazy rushing around is goin' out of style.
Out there you know it's tit for tat and quid pro quo.
You're gonna reap just what you sew
Unless you know to just let go and swing.
I wanna swing .
Come on! Let's SWING SLOW.
