Slow Burning Love Lyrics - In The Pocket - James Taylor

It was a hot and sultry day 

Somewhen in early september 

I don't hardly remember the day 

Just the way the sun beat down 

Upon the bay, baby 

I did not even need to know your name 

It was, oh, so plain to see 

That you had eyes for me 

Halfway open, halfway closed 

Half naked eyes for me, baby 

It was a slow burning love 

A fair-weather love affair 

A slow burning, smouldering love 

For you and i 

And like the sun on the edge of the western sky 

It died 

Oh, the lights of the city were close at hand 

I might just as well have been another man 

You might just as well have been another girl 

It might just as well have been another world 

It was a slow burning love 

A fair-weather love affair 

A slow burning, smouldering love 

For you and i 

And like the sun on the edge of the western sky 

It died 

Slow burning love...
