Leonard Cohen / Slow

Leonard Cohen / Slow 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
