Slowly 04:45
Slowly, we fell, always taking time from the start. Slowly, we drifted, never noticing the rift between our hearts. Chorus: But taking time has never been my thing. I'm always seeing clouds before the rain. I've waited long enough for you to see. I'm not gonna call if you don't answer me. I want to be in your heart slowly. Quickly, too fast, we were questioning if we could make this last. Maybe we'll try, try to make a present from our past. Chorus Bridge: I know it might be frightening. Holding back is hurtful. Forgive the clouds for letting loose the rain. I know we have a history, but that's what makes this special. I'm holding out my heart for you to claim. Chorus 2: 'Cause taking time has never been my thing. I'm always seeing clouds before the rain. I've waited long enough for you to see. I'll slow down for you if you could still love me. I want to be in your heart slowly. Tag: I want to be in your heart slowly. I want to be in your heart slowly. Slowly…

Came up from New York town Found his heart amongst the hills For glory he was bound A true man of his word if you will Didn’t have a need for his cell phone Or a interest in a new clean suite Burning logs right down to the bone Soul tall as the leaves heart down to the root Better get on boy If you want to get to school Ain't never been coy To play by societies rule Sharpening knives by fireside Colter Wall and a whiskey perfume No one’s shy or needs to hide Let the candles flicker and flume All the girls thought he was a catch But there’s a bump in every road Like a high class bumb he’s fetch It’s this sweet song he’d showed Some might say he was mut Dirty blue jeans and leather gloves You would say he’s stuck in a rut He’s just trying to make everyone love Raise your glass to you and me Raise it to eternity You might think it's all ending now Someday we can show them how there ain’t no words that don’t sound sweet If the g-ds are at your feet There ain’t no hill to far from heaven long as you've got townes’s bandit boy and your thick skinned bitter coffee cowboy Last time (Spirit of the Rockies and your thick skinned bitter coffee cowboy)

You sleep on your left side I sleep on my right So while drifting into dreaming You'll be in my sight Then I hear you whisper "I love you, good night" That's how I know Yes I know we'll be alright CHORUS: We'll be alright We'll be alright Darling yeah I know we'll be alright I'm by your side And you're by mine Darling yeah I know we'll be alright You've been getting sick dear And no, that isn't fair I'll still think you're pretty When you lose your hair You say that you're going And I ask you, "Where?" Take my hand, hold it tight CHORUS Pulling up the blanket The one we knit last year I can feel you shiver And goosebumps come in clear But all that starts to melting When I hold you near And whisper in your ear... CHORUS

Little black boots Their souls all mucked and brown You used to wear them When we hit the town In a little black dress We’d cry all night long But now stuck inside Nothing left but this a long slow song Whiskey and coffee Was all that it took Stay up all night Brain gets all shook Now we're feelin wholesome Cook a tasty meal Drink a little wine Then go back to bed a seal the deal Fare thee well to virginia Fare thee well to old time I’m bound to vermont To make that sweet girl mine The sea is deep And so is my love More vast than the forest Taller than the blue sky above Fiddling in the morning Banjo in the afternoon I could waste my days away Just to sing this little tune Rain on the window pain Blues in the sky I would do any dern anything Just to call her mine Hear the wind howl No need to ask when The only time is now

Fighting just to stay awake, yellow lines reach for daybreak. I'm thinking of home. I've never been away. It's wrong. I still don't know where I belong, But I'm on my way home. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Staying close meant asking why I never felt fulfilled inside, So I tried to find home. They wished me well, the best of luck, and don't forget where you come from. Son, hurry back home. I said, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. (I'll be on my way) Finding home was easy. I didn't have to try. Behold, I hold the beauty in my eye! They say home is where the heart is wherever I may be. I'll be sure to pack it when I leave…home. Now I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way. Yeah, I'm on my way.

When you meet your true love they say time comes to a halt When I met mine the clocks kept ticking like there wasn’t any time at all I've rode every subway, gazed at every skyline But never before just like an open door I stepped onto the emerald line She said take my hand come along with me make each second an eternity It’s all about your state of mind The world stops spinning on beacon street time Time moves fastest when your living a dream Well you can call me a dreamer cause my time is like a trickling stream Some days it seems all I’ve done has lead right up to now Other times I wonder does it matter anyhow She said take my hand come and dance with me Lose your need for reality It’s all about your state of mind Set your clocks to We might set out hearts to a different time But as long as the green line connects your heart to mine You’ll always find that we meet On Beacon Street Grab your coat and get your hat Meet me there in seconds flat It’s all about your state of mind The train is running on beacon street time
