A Slow Parade Lyrics

Cover art for A Slow Parade lyrics by A. A. Bondy

Drag your shadow down the street Was it you I was to meet With your saints there on a chain Waiting on another rain

And I'm going down Where the waves will surround To the roll and the pound Of the wild, wild sea Talking sweet to me

Marching in a slow parade There are ashes where you laid Sometimes I don't mind at all And sometimes head against the wall The tide will bring and tide will take Find another horse to break just a rider on a wheel In a dream where love was real

And I'm going down Where the waves will surround To the roll and the pound Of the wild, wild sea Talking sweet to me

The song is about someone sacrificing their life to save a friend.
