Calexico Slowness Lyrics

Slowness Lyrics

Miles of highway poppies, a stretch of maybe flowers

Past Signal Hill a
ways

We were parked and searching

For a hubcap rolling into the
fields of thorn

Although we couldn't see a thing that night

Stars
still shone

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 that slowness

And that slowness

Has never
gone away
