Lyrics

I inherited your soul And it carried me far from the idea I once had of home My favorite sound is still piano And my feet still feel the carpet where I first learned To listen for the sound of my soul I'm not too good at listening now I've never since slowed down So I'll climb another mountain How many would it take to finally prove it to you I'd never ask another to do what I do Collect another accolade To get dusty with my old rollerblades, and paints, and telescope and mandolin And giant pile of unfinished knitting When it all comes easily Except knowing how to be Slow down, my willow tree Slow down Can't collect karma, if I let life flow by Can't collect any heartache, if I never stop to cry Would it be so bad, to let myself be held in that Would it be so bad, to slow down long enough to admit I'm sad Fill the void with another Fill the gaps with baby's breath like I learned from my mother Fill the vessel from the river, oh brother And Slow down Slow down, my willow Don't know how I stand to lend advice, but I could lend an ear We could dye carnations unnatural shades of blue And learn what it's like to just be me and you And Slow down Slow down, my willow Have I lived up to what you knew? Have I lived up to what you knew? Have I lived up to what you knew I'd be for you?"
