Lyrics
Thirty years of early light Now I sleep right through the night The old chair waits beside the door I do not have to go there more Slow down, slow down, easy now Nowhere to be, I'm home somehow Slow down, slow down, easy now Warm light on, I'm home The kettle sings, the morning's wide Sunshine falls on the kitchen side No bell, no clock, no rush at all Just slippers, tea and the quiet hall Slow down, slow down, easy now Nowhere to be, I'm home somehow Slow down, slow down, easy now Warm light on, I'm home Thank you for the years Thank you, now I rest Slow down, slow down, easy now Nowhere to be, I'm home somehow Slow down, slow down, easy now Warm light on, I'm home
