Slow Song

I find it so weird at this point to have drafted a 13th completed song to actually be considered in the drafting of this album, but I love that I sat down and actually wrung it out last night. That's probably why there's the reference about having to finish the song in there. Again, it's a bit of a love song, about that realisation maybe that you can be there, and be safe with them.

I really should stop talking about love. At least, this much. Maybe that's just where I am right now.

All these slow songs

Roll off my tongue

While I ask you why the night's

Running slow

Like an old worn out watch

We threw away months ago.

And I know that

If I don't get this song finished soon

I'll never finish it,

Cos I'll be thinking of you.

And just how do you guide me through this

Cloud-filled storm

Of fear, and love, And the view from your window?

Honey, find a slow song

We just wanna dance to,

Because there's a storm raging;

A hurricane.

Through all the thunder, and the sparks

Watch the clock:

Time's running thin now, oh,

But we never stop.

This town, this town

Bleeds from every pore

It's the same shade of red

I've come to know:

The shade of your lips,

The blood in your cheeks...

Honey, find a slow song
We just wanna dance to,
Because there's a storm raging;
A hurricane.
Through all the thunder, and the sparks
Watch the clock:
Time's running thin now, oh,
But we never stop.

The storm has run its course,

And the Autumn comes down

Like the rain of Summer,

Slow down, it's only normal,

Speed up, you never listened anyway.

And one day you may find,

The world's been changing like the leaves,

Time's left you behind,

But honey you'll always have me.

Ticking clocks speed our lives,

"Make sure you heed us, lest you die"

But there's an answer to this problem,

Listen closely... Slow song.
