Emmylou Harris

Slow surprise
There is a way that subtle changes come to stayBarely noticed, hardly knownOne day you'll say my situation's locked awayBut by tomorrow you're all aloneIt seems so sudden, but it's not, it's only grownFrom a scene that long ago was left forgotten in the snowAnd has a way with slow surprises all it's ownIt's hard to show, but like a boulder rollin' slowOr a rumble, deep in the groundThings whisper low, and by the time I really knowWhat's been movin', they've settled downToo late to see the way they're shiftin' roundToo late to say there's bound to be another wayIt's all been said and done without a soundThis comes to me, and now that I begin to seeIt's not dramatic, it's nothing grandI used to be hlaf of the whole of you and meNow I'm the limit of all I amIt seems so simple, nothin' much to understandYou walked out and closed the door, said I don't live here anymoreAnd now nothin's hangin' heavy in my handsNow nothin's hangin' heavy in my hands From Letras Mania
