The Colour Of Slow

THE COLOUR OF SLOW
(A Reworking Of An Original Instrumental track, "Project 60", By Silvio Vinci )

Your coffee’s cold,
The window’s wide.
The curtains move,
You close your eyes.

A bus rolls by,
The glasses ring.
You touch my hand,
I lose my place.

Stay a little longer,
Let the afternoon go.
When you lean against me,
Time is moving slow.

Nothing needs an answer,
Nowhere else to go.
Let me stay beside you
In the colour of slow.

A record turns,
The needle sways.
You hum a line
Then drift away.

The sunlight bends
Across your knee.
You trace a circle
Next to me.

Leave the clock behind.
Let the shadows grow.
Keep your hand in mine.
Let the evening flow.

Stay a little longer,
Let the afternoon go.
When you lean against me,
Time is moving slow.

Nothing needs an answer,
Nowhere else to go.
Let me stay beside you
In the colour of slow.

The colour of slow…
Nowhere else to go…
Stay a little longer…
