Slim Dusty - Slow Down lyrics

rate me

Slow down, slow down,

Take your time dear brother

Why must we all be frantic bound.

There's happiness around us

For everyone to share

So take your time dear brother

Slow down.

Why must it be the trend

To hurry towards the end

'Cause in the end you always seem to find,

That yonder hills are burned

And then you've sadly learned

The green hills of happiness

The ones you left behind.

Slow down, slow down

Take your time dear brother

Why must your life be so unreal.

Your heart is in despair,

You're crowded everywhere,

In your dreary world of concrete and steel.

Let's cleanse our hearts of hate

Before it is too late,

And try to spread some happiness around

There's joy in helping others

If you should find them down

So let us all be brothers

Let us all slow down.
