"Walking Back Slow" lyrics - PATTY GRIFFIN

You've been away a while
I can tell that you've walked some miles
And brushed the cobwebs off the shelf
No one bothered with you much then
You kept to yourself

But now you're back again
Mixing yourself up a strong drink
You're trying to feel, trying not to think
'Cause honey you found out too much thinking can stink
And now you're just on the brink, oh yeah

Walking back slow
Winter's come and gone now
Yeah, took the snow
Walking back slow
Take a little step now, baby
Ah, there you go

I see that that scar's
A little piece of what you are
And no one's been handing out those little gold stars
Tell me your heart knows how
You ever got this far

It's such a funny dance
Sometimes you run, sometimes you take a chance
Until your heart tries to be true
And baby you might look like new
After a little glue, oh yeah

Walking back slow
Winter's come and gone now
Yeah, took the snow
Walking back slow
Take a little step now, baby
Ah, there you go, there you go
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh, whoa oh oh oh

Sometimes a phone can ring
Next thing you know you've packed all your things
Looks like you got yourself somewhere to go
So you wave goodbye to the little buildings down there, all in a row

Walking back slow
Winter's come and gone now
Yeah, took the snow
Walkin' back slow
Take a little step now, baby
Ah, there you go
