walking slowly

lyrics:  Ian Hattwick/paula mcmath

music: Ian Hattwick/paula mcmath


walking slowly   very slowly  

walking  slowly   head bent down

it's the way he sees the world

it's the way he knows the world


he gets up and ties his shoes on tight  

combs his hair in the morning light

out the door to get to work on time

on the corner by the taxi stand

he stares up at the big red hand

as the hurried people pass him by    now he's...


chorus


when he was young he used to love to run

chasing down the setting sun

looked for love but wouldn't find it yet

now he tells himself again and again

if he knew now what he knew then

he could learn to run again   but he's...


chorus


and he forgets what he wanted to remember

and he remembers what he wanted to forget

he didn't know there was so much to lose

or that sometimes life just doesn't let you choose


walking slowly   very slowly 

walking  slowly   head bent down

it's the way he sees the world

it's the way he knows the world

it's the way he moves the world

walking slowly   very slowly   walking slowly   then he stops

I hope the songs speak for themselves.
