Lyrics
Artist: Chris Smither lyrics Album: Other Song Lyrics Title: Slow Surprise There is a way subtle changes come to stay Barely noticed and hardly known One day you'll say "My situation's locked away" But by tomorrow, you're all alone It seems so sudden, but it's not, it's only grown From a seed that long ago was left forgotten in the snow And has a way with slow surprises on its own. It's hard to show, but like a boulder rolling slow Or a rumble deep in the ground Things whisper low, and by the time I really know What's been moving, they've settled down Too late to see they're shifting 'round Too late to say "There's bound to be another way" It's all been said and done without a sound. This comes to me, now that I begin to see It's not dramatic, it's nothing grand I used to be half the whole of you and me Now I'm the limit of half a man Seems so simple, nothing much to understand You walked out and closed the door, said "I don't live here anymore" Now nothing's hanging heavy in my hands.
