Lyrics

Slow Down - Madnap/Pauline Herr

I saw the wildflowers dying

As we froze in the winter

Lost my clothes in the water

Feel the sand between my toes

All these days we kept trying

Put our hands on the lions

Never thought we’d stop flying

Just to walk this on our own

Oh we are growing old now

Will it ever be the same

Since we slowed down we slowed down

We slow down we slow down slow down

Slow down

We slowed down slow down

Slow down slow down

We slow down

We slow down we slow down

And now we’re too deep in the water

I can’t see you anymore

Can’t see you anymore

We slow down it’s too late to recover

I just can’t see you anymore

I can’t do this anymore

More

You can knock but I’ll shut the door

Door

I don’t want this to be a chore

Down down down down
