lyrics

You showed me your way with a dull kitchen knife

Took ten slow tries just to cut through the lime

Your hand on my wrist, then you missed on the slice

Juice on the board, and I laughed through the time

You said, "Watch again, keep your elbow in place"

The spoon hit the bowl with a cold little trace

I leaned in too close to the blue-rimmed plate

Then your steady hand drew the line I could chase

Slow hands, slow hands

Slow hands, slow hands

I learned it your way

Slow hands, slow hands

At the sink by the window, the soap was half gone

You stacked up the cups in a straight quiet row

I fumbled the towel, then you let me go on

Till the rag found the drip and the water moved slow

You said, "One more time, let the handle turn here"

The lock caught my thumb, then it finally cleared

You stayed at my side while I fought with the gear

Soft like the dawn on the glass in the pier

Slow hands, slow hands

Slow hands, slow hands

I learned it your way

Slow hands, slow hands

Now I can hear it in the tap of the pan

In the turn of the key, in the fold of a sleeve

You were patient with me, grain by grain

And I keep that rhythm wherever I leave

Slow hands, slow hands

Slow hands, slow hands

I learned it your way

Slow hands, slow hands
