Lyrics
I bought a record at the market Dusty cover, corner worn Slid it out and found a paper Folded small and soft and torn Written in a gentle pencil Someone's hand from long ago It said play this one for someone Play it slow, play it slow Play it slow, play it slow There's a note inside the sleeve Play it slow, play it slow For somebody who believes I don't know who wrote the letter Don't know who it was for But I put the needle down And I'm dancing on the floor The crackle sounds like rainfall The bass is like a heart And I think about the stranger Who wrote the very start Play it slow, play it slow There's a note inside the sleeve Play it slow, play it slow For somebody who believes So I write one of my own In pencil, soft and small And slip it in the sleeve again For anyone at all Play it slow, play it slow There's a note inside the sleeve Play it slow, play it slow For somebody who believes Play it slow Play it slow
