Slowness

Slowness - Calexico

Miles of highway poppies

Stretch of maybe flowers

Past signal hill away

We were parked and searching

For a hubcap rolling

Into the fields of thorn

Although we couldn't

See a thing that night

And the stars

In their slowness

And their slowness

Took us by surprise

If I never told you

How you helped to rescue

The car and all inside

Remember roads were steep and

You and I went sliding down

Grade from gate's pass

You asleep and me

Behind the wheel

Hovering in

In that slowness

And that slowness

Has never gone away

Although we couldn't

See a thing

The stars still shone

The stars still shone

The stars still shone

In their slowness

In their slowness

In their slowness

In their slowness

And their slowness

Has never gone away
