“The Slide” by Mike Timmins appears on the Cowboy Junkies album ‘Long Journey Home’ – 2006. The song is a first person narrative, sung to God and to the protagonist’s mate, in the form of a lament.
Though unspoken, the song dances around an unspeakable tragedy in the lives of this couple; one that...
Jesus, sweet Jesus, if you're listening
Can you pass me to your pa
I'm having a hard time understanding
Why he's so cruel and demanding
With his love
Darling, sweet darling, keep whispering
I'll find you through this din
Sitting and watching
Two flames busy dancing
To our love
Grab on to this moment
Inhale it and hold it inside
Savor its sweetness
Yearn for the slide
Jesus, sweet Jesus, if you're listening
Can you pass me to your pa
I'm having a hard time understanding
Why he's so discriminating
With his love
