I Can't Slow Her Down

She moves like lightning

Is as contagious as the sun

Her moods are frightening

And I'm pretty sure that soon we'll be done

I try to pin her down but she's always on the run

I wanna catch her but I can't slow her downShe slips through my fingers

Like a symptom of the wind

And though I keep on knocking she never lets me in

But I don't mind so much

As long as I can hear her sing

I wanna catch her but I can't slow her down

No I cannot tempt her

No I cannot slow her down at all

I try to abide by her

But she never remains the same

She stays as still as the winters eye

Beneath the temper of a flame

And I've paid her or at least I've tried

To find affections in the pains

I wanna catch her but I can't slow her down
