We Go Slow

Woke up in a big fat feather bed

A ray of light taps my messy sleeping head

Put my naked feet down on the heated floor

Step into the water, looking at the shore

I tune up on a station on my radio

Nina sings a song that gives me hope for more

She doesn't give a care about what she ain't got

I'm feeling just like her, I got my hair

Got my life, my eyes, and many things to do

My steps are rushing out, rushing out

They're running ahead of me, like mister I got to

But mind keeps saying there's nowhere to run to

Ooh, ooh

Wherever we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Where we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Step into the breeze, the trees are swaying right

Just one of these days when you feel so bright

Leavin' all behind the loads that bring me down

I keep a state of mind of the brightest side

Strollin' through the aisle of my corner-shop

Seeking little pleasures like cigs and choc

Bump in something better, a friend willing and able

To have a little laugh around a table

A midday brunch on a Monday loose

With bubbles, OJ, and loads to choose

He tells me that he's got a million things to do

But he'd rather be with me to take a walk right through

Ooh, ooh

Wherever we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Where we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Where we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Where we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Take time, what it takes, what it takes

Take time, what it takes, what it takes

'Nough of this city going back to the shore

Let the wind, let the light coming in from the sea

Ripple on my dress, ripple on my face

All the light I can embrace

Walking on the docks, I hear someone whistling

This guy's been sitting here since early morning

It looks like nothing's gonna come his way

What if Otis was singing next to me?

Ooh, ooh

Wherever we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Wherever we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Wherever we go, we go, we go, we go slow

Wherever we go, we go, we go, we go slow

We go slow, oh

We go slow, oh

We go slow, oh

We go slow, oh

We go slow, oh

We go slow, oh
