Lyrics

You were never found to be backward Or wanting in any way You were hidden so cleverly in love What scheme did you obey! And I know why you go so slow You had such strange disappointments Too bare against the paint You knew the handle was broken And your strong arm was faint And I know why you go so slow Your tired empire's fallen Victim to your unease You could make yourself so useful If you'd get on your knees And I know why you go so slow
