Slowly Coming Back
©2003
Easy with some help....
My eyes still hurt from all the light
On waking from another endless night
And trying to tell what's real from what's dreamt
And finding what it meant.
The wild rose tree under my window sill
Might shed its petals in the nightly chill
When life is slowing but it's still on track
I'm slowly coming back
Chorus:
Stand up and take a look
See what you've never seen
Try to write a book
Of everywhere you've been
Of everything you've done
And how it all began.
All's slowly coming back with ease
Those scents of summer floating in the breeze
I really thought I'd left it all behind
It still lives in my mind.
So I've come full circle a time or two
Some dreams will knock the wind right out of you
I might be crawling but I'm still on track
I'm slowly coming back
Chorus:
Stand up and take a look
See what you've never seen
Try to write a book
Of everywhere you've been
Of everything you've done
And when it all began.
Bridge:
Whatever happened to those dreams of youth
I guess they went where all youth went
In all the effort spent
To find the truth
It's slowly coming back
Yes, slowly coming back
Chorus :
Stand up and take a look
See what you've never seen
Try to write a book
Of everywhere you've been
Of everything you've done
And why it all began.

I'm slowly coming back
Let's get on track
We're slowly coming back
