[ripptyd]

It’s not a silly little moment, it’s not the storm before the calm
This is the deep and dying breath of this love that we’ve been working on
Can’t seem to hold you like I want to, so I can feel you in my arms
Nobody’s gonna come and save you, we pulled to many false alarms

We’re going down, and you can see it too
We’re going down, and you know that we’re doomed
My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room

I was the one you always dreamed of, you were the one I tried to draw
How dare you say it’s nothing to me, Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw
I'll make the most of all the sadness, you'll be a bitch because you can
You'll try to hit me just hurt me, so you leave me feeling dirty 'cause you can’t understand

We’re going down, and you can see it too
We’re going down, and you know that we’re doomed
My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room

Go cry about it why don’t you, go cry about it why don’t you

My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room

Don’t you think we ought to know by now
Don’t you think we should have learned somehow

Reasons Why This Song Is Fantastic


1. The lyrics.
2. It's basically the only song in the CD that's really good.
3. It's pure Clapton.
4. The lyrics, come on. Brutal, almost.
5. The image of slow dancing in a burning room sounds like a brilliant painting. Blurry and smokey, drapes lit up and flaming, shadowed figures pressed close and dancing, hanging on until the end.
6. Did I already mention how much like Eric Clapton the guitar sounds like? It's really uncanny.
