From the recording Magdalene
Lyrics
Slow Me Down
M. Litton
Your music mutes the midnight siren
There is no traffic along your path
You are at peace while they riot
You slow me down, slow me down
You slow me down when I move too fast
You pace my heartbeat by your rhythm
You light the darkness with your laugh
You bow to faith before reason
You slow me down, slow me down
You slow me down when I move too fast
You have known the Gypsy way
You have walked with the first and the last
You break your bread till everyone is fed
You slow me down, slow me down
You slow me down when I move too fast
I’ve watched you dancing through the shadows
To the castanets that you have clasped
Your eyes mirrored the moonlight
You slow me down, slow me down
You slow me down when I move too fast
You have known the Gypsy way
You have walked with the first and the last
You break your bread till everyone is fed
You slow me down, slow me down
You slow me down when I move too fast
What leads the rain back to the river?
What tames the storms as they pass?
What stops the waves at the shoreline?
You slow me down, slow me down
You slow me down when I move too fast.
