Slow Would be the tempo of the restless soul You've seen what a listless life can bring Wait, and then wait until he's waiting for The delay didn't see off everything Slow Would be the rhythm of the hummingbird The quick speed in the shatter of his eyes On flowers you will pose and he will spit the words And how the world will slowly pass you by Slow And tiredness of your control Of the moment that is nearly standing still To wait for a minute and not a second more And a face like a forbidden thrill [Chorus] Gently behind the beat We shuffle on ancient streets The reverb of time Is our vantage point We slept for a million years Lived through a million fears We are not nervous We will not ask for more If you come slower I'm gonna slow too Slow Like the kissing of a lazy cheek Like the limit and the deadline of the rush And words, words waiting for you to speak Or getting lost in your eternal crush Slow Would be the tempo of the restless mind You see what a listless life can bring And wait and then he waits until he's waiting for For the wait didn't see off everything [Chorus]... Pawns of the troubled times And kings of our petty crimes The minds will function With a small delay See what the past has planned The future's a beggar's hand The more we understand The slower our days If you come slower I'm gonna slow too
