Little words, empty pillow There's an old man on a hill There's a little dream, a little whisper A little dance for you So damned if you wanted it better I can't seem to breath I'll spin you when you're older And hold you when you're grey Oh, time can be so rude, can be so rude When it means the most So come back slow, come back slow Won't you come back slow, come back slow The flower wilted, the notebook stolen Lost a picture of long ago So won't you climb down, the roof is broken I'll catch you if you fall So damned if you wanted it better I can't seem to breath I'll spin you when you're older And hold you when you're grey Oh, time can be so rude, can be so rude When it means the most So come back slow, come back slow Won't you come back slow, come back slow I can't seem to breath I'll spin you when you're older And hold you when you're grey Oh, so damned if you wanted it better Oh, so damned if you wanted it better Oh, so damned if you wanted it better Oh, so damned if you wanted it better Oh, time can be so rude, can be so rude When it means the most Oh, time can be so rude, can be so rude When it means the most Oh, time can be so rude, can be so rude When it means the most So come back slow, come back slow Won't you come back slow, come back slow
