Slowly

She said, “put me on the last train to London”

I said, “girl, there’s an ocean in between”

She said, “What do you know?

How much of the world have you seen?

Better build yourself a boat.”

And she said, “put me on the last train to heaven”

I said, “girl, there’s a sky in between”

She said, “whatever you heard

Isn’t the same as what you seen.”

And if I wanted to be wrong would you call me out?

Would you show me up?

Would you break me down?

Because I can feel a little loss of innocence

Every new place that I go

So sing along, you know this tune

Everybody dances until they all fall down

I know it but I can’t feel it

I want it all at once, but I see it coming slowly

She said, “put me on the last train to London”

I said, “girl, I’m in over my head

Balancing out all of the dreams,

How to wake up, and what that might mean.”

She said, “we’re already on the last train to heaven.

Can you not see this great vehicle I have found?

It looks like the world but it’s sparkling now.”

And if I wanted to be wrong would you call me out?

Would you show me up?

Would you break me down?

Because I can feel a little loss of innocence

Every new place that I go

So sing along, you know this tune

Everybody dances until they all fall down

I know it but I can’t feel it

I want it all at once, but I see it coming slowly

And if I wanted to be wrong would you call me out?

Would you show me up?

Would you break me down?

Because I can feel a little loss of innocence

Every new place that I go

So sing along, you know this tune

Everybody dances until they all fall down

I know it but I can’t feel it

I want it all at once, but I see it coming slow

If I wanted to be wrong would you call me out?

Would you show me up?

Would you break me down?

Because I can feel a little loss of innocence

Every new place that I go

So sing along, you know this tune

Everybody dances until they all fall down

I know it but I can’t feel it

I want it all at once, but I see it coming slow
