Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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
