Lyrics
Mama walks a little slower Down the road to the market stall She holds my arm, she holds her bag And she still knows everyone at all So I match her step, step for step No hurry in the morning sun Walk with me, Mama, walk with me We have all the time in the world Walk with me, Mama, slow and sweet I will carry your bag, you carry the stories Walk with me, Mama, walk with me The morning is golden and so are you She stops to greet the fruit seller Asks about his children by name She taught me how to say hello And I will never be the same So I match her step, step for step No hurry in the morning sun Walk with me, Mama, walk with me We have all the time in the world Walk with me, Mama, slow and sweet I will carry your bag, you carry the stories Walk with me, Mama, walk with me The morning is golden and so are you You carried me when I was small Now I carry the bread And you carry the light Oh you carry the light Walk with me, Mama, walk with me We have all the time in the world Walk with me, Mama, slow and sweet I will carry your bag, you carry the stories Walk with me, Mama, walk with me The morning is golden and so are you Walk with me, Mama Golden and slow Walk with me
