I wait you speak I'd rather your dreams Than my plans which seem To come up empty handed I love you close Right here where I know I don't have to hold The world up on my shoulders Slow down Slow down and listen Your word it goes A caged bird that has flown And before it comes home It does what you intended Just like the rain and the snow That fall softly and slow Then carefully grow Every seed that you planted Slow down Slow down and listen Empty spaces in our conversation I try to rush you My time is wasting I hear you whispering softly Be patient my love Slow down Slow down and listen
