In the garden with the wild I can feel you like a child Seeing shadows in the room By the fall and the rise Of the young and the wise Playing tag with the moon Chasing you When I was young you were only a ghost Taking old friends leaving me alone When we are grown Tell me where do we go So fast Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand Making me weak running in the sand If I can't keep you, nobody can so Slow down, slow down In the speed of the traffic Or the rush in the rapids When the ends come and meet And I know you by the taste From the moment we awake Like the sour and the sweet And you can't see When I was young you were only a ghost Taking old friends leaving me alone When we are grown Tell me where do we go So fast Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand Making me weak, running in the sand If I can't keep you, nobody can so Slow down, slow down Slow down When I was young you were only a ghost Taking old friends leaving me alone When we are grown Tell me where do we go So fast Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand Making me weak, running in the sand If I can't keep you, nobody can so Slow down, slow down Slow down
