Slow Slow - Leonard Cohen I'm slowing down the tune I never liked it fast You want to get there soon I want to get there last It's not because I'm bold It's not the life I led I always liked it slow That's what my momma said I'm lacing up my shoe But I don't want to run I'll get there when I do Don't need no starting gun It's not because I'm old It's not what dying does Slow is in my blood With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm dead All your moves are swift All your turns are tight Let me catch my breath I thought we had all night I like to take my time I like to linger as it flies A weekend on your lips A lifetime in your eyes So baby let me go You're wanted back in town In case they want to know I'm just trying to slow it down
