歌曲名 Slow Surprise

歌手名 Chris Smither

There is a way subtle changes come to stay

Barely noticed and hardly known

One day you'll say My situation's locked away

But by tomorrow you're all alone

It seems so sudden but it's not it's only grown

From a seed that long ago was left forgotten in the snow

And has a way with slow surprises on its own

It's hard to show but like a boulder rolling slow

Or a rumble deep in the ground

Things whisper low and by the time I really know

What's been moving they've settled down

Too late to see they're shifting 'round

Too late to say There's bound to be another way

It's all been said and done without a sound

This comes to me now that I begin to see

It's not dramatic it's nothing grand

I used to be half the whole of you and me

Now I'm the limit of half a man

Seems so simple nothing much to understand

You walked out and closed the door

said I don't live here anymore

Now nothing's hanging heavy in my hands

nothing's hanging heavy in my hands
