lyrics

SLOWVILLE

Put me on the train to Slowville
I long to go and I know the reason why
No, I'm not living in the past
But this world of yours it spins too fast
And I always seem to come in last
Except in Slowville

Won't you meet with me in Slowville
We'll have some conversation, you and I
We'll sit and watch the river run
Take things slow and one by one
And get all we need to done
When we're in Slowville

Don't drive so fast: you'll miss the turn to Slowville
See, you've left your spirit way behind
Driven by the things we lack
We'll have to stop and face some facts
We're going to have a long walk back
To get to Slowville.

The day may come we all must live in Slowville
When the gas is gone and the oceans on the rise
Can we show we truly care
About this earth that we all share
Or shall we leave it picked quite bare
This side of Slowville?

So come listen for the train to Slowville
Let's try to cultivate that state of mind
If we can learn to live aligned
With reverent hearts but open minds
And patience too, we may just find
Ourselves in Slowville

So I'm listening for the train for Slowville
I'm trying to cultivate that state of mind
The train to Slowville is coming down the line
The train to Slowville will be here by and by
