Slowness

Miles of highway poppies A stretch of maybe flowers past Signal Hill away We were parked and searching For a hubcap rolling into the fields of thorn Although we couldn't see a thing that night And the stars in their slowness And their slowness took us by surprise If I never told you how you helped to rescue The car and all inside Remember roads were steep and You and I went sliding down the grade from Gate's Pass You asleep and me behind the wheel Hovering in, in that slowness And that slowness has never gone away Although we couldn't see a thing that night And the stars still shone and the stars still shone And the stars still shone In their slowness, in their slowness In their slowness, in their slowness And their slowness has never gone away --- Slowness - Calexico
