Slow

LEONARD COHEN · Popular Problems 2014 · Track 01 of 09

Written by Leonard Cohen, Patrick Leonard

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 old 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 here when I do Don't need no starting gun

It's not because I'm old It's not what dying does I always liked it slow Slow is in my blood

I always liked it slow: I never liked it fast With you it's got to go: With me it's got to last

It's not because I'm old It's not because I'm dead I always liked it slow That's what my momma said

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

I always liked it slow...

I'm slowing down the tune I never liked it fast You want to get there soon I want to get there last

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
