lyrics

You showed me the knob on the old blue stove

I burned the rice while you watched it glow

Your hands were calm on the chipped white bowl

You said, "Try again," and I said, "I know"

The kettle hissed by the yellow tile

You pointed once and you stayed a while

I kept the spoon in the wrong-hand grip

You let me fail with a patient lip

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

At the tram stop, rain made specks on my coat

You tied the knot, then you let me float

I laced my shoes in the wrong tight row

You never laughed, you just said, "Go slow"

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

On the Formica table, sugar spilled

You drew the line where the cup fits still

I learned by missing, by turning late

Your steady hands made a broken way

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly

Slowly, slowly
