Light reddens my room Though the shade is cooler The newer blooms are all so small Spring hues have come and soon I will recall That soon I'll wish for fall I can't stand still and let things slowly change I wish I could give The breeze off the river Deliver when you need the air But if we're stuck apart then I'll go where Some folks need more to share I can't stand still and let things slowly change Slowly, life's been slowly hovering Over me, a force I'm still uncovering Slowly, it's stifling and the feeling's strange I can't stand still and wait for things to change Just when did I make The promise I'm breaking I'm taking time to calmly rest This ache is dull but I'd have never guessed It's never been addressed I can't stand still and let things slowly change Slowly, life's been slowly hovering Over me, a force I'm still uncovering Slowly, it's stifling and the feeling's strange I can't stand still and wait for things to change
