lyrics

I'm slow like a seraphim in my life,
Always late to arrive
And one day, I know this ach will fade,
but for now I'm trying not to be jaded.
I'm low like an elephant who's gone to see the last of it.
To know just exactly where she went is more than I can take right now.
She knows me too well to think that it's wrong
And she knows me too well to mix it too strong unless I need it. I 'm moving on my own.
But this is my life, this is all I have tonight.
And my plans never quite coincide with what I thought they might, but I'm with you! And I'm all right with that 'cause there's a place in my heart I'll always keep safe for you, dear.
Meanwhile I'm slow, like a seraphim in my life, always late to arrive
And one day, I know this ach will fade, but for now I'm trying not to be jaded.
