The shadows are stretching across the floor
As the afternoon
lets down its hair
We don't need the bright lights of youth anymore
Just a slow turn
in this rocking chair
Your hand fits in mine
like a key in a lock
With the lines that the decades have drawn
We're ignoring the rush
of the pendulum clock Just waiting for light
in the dawn (ooh)
And it's a whole world in a quiet embrace
A lifetime of ordinary grace
We're growing older,
we're growing wise
With a quiet devotion behind our eyes
Just a slow turn
After all this time (hummmm)
