LET'S MAKE IT SLOW, FAST

Let's Make It Slow, Fast

I'm feeling the winds of time speeding up,
Blurring my eyes to the road we paved to
Build our place in this space.

Seems like I just opened the front door,
But now I'm looking at closing the back door,
And I'm not even finished with all within these walls.

The clock on the mantel ticks steady in my ear
And the hands keep windmill spinning
Collecting the moments we've been spending.

Let's make this life slow, fast. 
Slow the sunsets down. 
Find reasons to dance all around. 
Make it more a lean and stare.

Yellowed letters piled in buckets
Are traces of two hearts that tell the story
Of years finding our place together in this time.

It's like a whisper that fades into distraction,
Senses searching to make sense of
What was lost before it was found.

Driving the winding country roads, 
Blurred by the dust in the rear view mirror,
We know the past hangs close to us here.











Let's make this life slow, fast.
Slow the sunsets down. 
Find reasons to dance all around.
Make it more a lean and stare.

When we look out the window of this speeding train,
I can't hold my eye on one place.
Mountaintops and ocean skies keep flowing by.

We can't turn the clock back
Any more than we can keep stars from shining,
But we can keep after what we were getting.

It's not the destination we're after,
But rather the journey to hereafter,
One mission to hold this life longer--Together

Let's make this life slow, fast. 
Slow the sunsets down. 
Find reasons to dance all around. 
Make it more a lean and stare.
