lyrics: Ian Hattwick/paula mcmath
music: Ian Hattwick/paula mcmath

walking slowly very slowly
walking slowly head bent down
it’s the way he sees the world
it’s the way he knows the world

he gets up and ties his shoes on tight
combs his hair in the morning light
out the door to get to work on time
on the corner by the taxi stand
he stares up at the big red hand
as the hurried people pass him by now he’s…

chorus

when he was young he used to love to run
chasing down the setting sun
looked for love but wouldn’t find it yet
now he tells himself again and again
if he knew now what he knew then
he could learn to run again but he’s…

chorus

and he forgets what he wanted to remember
and he remembers what he wanted to forget
he didn’t know there was so much to lose
or that sometimes life just doesn’t let you choose

walking slowly very slowly
walking slowly head bent down
it’s the way he sees the world
it’s the way he knows the world
it’s the way he moves the world
walking slowly very slowly walking slowly then he stops
