I was tumbling through your shadow as you were dancing in the rain.
I was learning the steps as I followed the disappearing tracks that
Remained.

Refrain:
And I was hopin' that you'd slow down so I could catch a glimpse of you.
I was hopin' that you'd slow down! Yeah!

I saw you imitating the rain vens, but you never seem to tire.
On your glorious flight towards the heavens, you were as perfect as a high
Wire.

Refrain:
And I was hopin' that you'd slow down so I could catch a glimpse of you.
I was hopin' that you'd slow down! Yeah!

Then the night rolled in like a rainstorm with the weight of the burden you
Bear.
I felt the emptiness of my soul from as it vanished in to the air.

Refrain:
And I was hopin' that you'd slow down so I could be like you.
I was hopin' that you'd slow down! Yeah!

I heard the beckoning of angels in a dream I had in the sky.
Through a vision of a nightingale, revelation in disguise.

Refrain:
And I was hopin' that you'd slow down so I could be with you.
I was hopin' that you'd slow down! Yeah!

3x I was hopin' that you'd slow down
Hey yeah...
