Lights

slow down

In the garden with the wild
I can feel you like a child
Seeing shadows in the room
Like the fall and the rise
And the young and the wise
Playing dead with the moon
Chasing you

When I was young you were only a ghost
Taking old friends leaving me alone
When we are grown
Tell me where do we go
So fast
Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand
Making me weak when I need to stand
If I can't keep you, nobody can so
Slow down, slow down

In the speed of the traffic
With the rush in the rapids
When the ends come and meet
And I know you by the days
From the moment we awake
Like the sour and the sweet
And you can see

When I was young you were only a ghost
Taking old friends leaving me alone
When we are grown
Tell me where do we go
So fast
Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand
Making me weak when I need to stand
If I can't keep you, nobody can so
Slow down, slow down, slow down

When I was young you were only a ghost
Taking old friends leaving me alone
When we are grown
Tell me where do we go
So fast
Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand
Making me weak when I need to stand
If I can't keep you, nobody can so
Slow down, slow down, slow down
