lyrics
You had a bent old ruler On the Formica board You drew the same line twice Then laughed and said it’s more My pen skipped on the page By the kettle, worn and blue You waited while I missed it Then showed me one more screw You tapped the mug, the corner, the tin You moved my hand, then let me in Slow, slow, slow I caught the shape, then lost it again Show me slow Show me slow Show me slow Show me slow Your patient hands On my clumsy bones At eight-fifteen, by Bedminster You tied the knot too tight I pulled the lace, it slipped out You fixed it in the light Your finger on the screwcap On the radio, on the lid You let me fail in small ways Till my own hands did You tapped the mug, the corner, the tin You moved my hand, then let me in Slow, slow, slow I caught the shape, then lost it again Show me slow Show me slow Show me slow Show me slow Your patient hands On my clumsy bones By the sink in St. Pauls You counted out the turns Rain ticked on the window While I watched and learned I rushed it, made a mess You just said, “Try again” Then placed my palm on metal Till the grip stayed in Show me slow Show me slow Show me slow Show me slow Your patient hands On my clumsy bones
