about

Sitting looking out the window in a coffee shop in Victoria on a rainy day I started to see people I recognized from long ago. I reflected on those brief encounters you sometimes have that however fleeting can haunt you for a lifetime.

lyrics

She walked like she was time itself
Those pendulums for legs
Tapped away the seconds till we met
And as i rose to meet her
She said i like to take it slow
So take it slow

And it was just a cup of coffee
But we drank for half a day
And bitter never tasted quite so sweet
And as she drew a cigarette
She said I like to take it slow
So take it slow

She sipped her cigarettes like brandy
She spilled the smoke upon the air
She exhaled like each one was a regret
And as I hung upon that moment
She said I like to take it slow
So take it slow

The saucy side of night
Had dragged its tongue across the ground
As we poured out to the road
All steaming wet
And as she shimmered in the moonlight
And said now watch how you go
And slow like an eternity she left

And She sipped her cigarette like brandy
She spilled the smoke upon the air
She exhaled like each one was a regret
And as I hung upon that moment
She said now watch how you go
And slow for all eternity she left
