Emmylou Harris - Slow Surprise lyrics

There is a way that subtle changes to stay Barely noticed, hardly known One day you´ll say my situation´s locked away But by tomorrow you´re all alone It seems so sudden, but it´s not, it´s only grown From a scene that long ago was left Forgotten in the snow And has a way with slow surprises all its own It´s hard to show, but like a boulder rollin´ slow Or a rumble, deep in the ground Things whisper low, and by the time I really know What´s been movin´, they´ve settled down Too late to see the way they´re shiftin´ round Too late to say there´s bound to be another way It´s all been said and done without a sound This comes to me, and now that I begin to see It´s not dramatic, it´s nothing grand I used to be half of thje whole of you and me Now I´m the limit of all I am It seems so simple, nothin´ much to understand You walked out and closed the door Said I don´t live here anymore And now nothin´s hangin´ heavy in my hands Now nothin´s hangin´ heavy in my hands
