Slow Surprise

m                     

                                                                    
There is a way that subtle changes come to stay 
                                      
Barely noticed, hardly known
                                       
One day you ll say my situation s locked away 
                                              
But by tomorrow you re all alone 
                                                                   
It seems so sudden, but it s not, it s only grown 
                                                                                   
From a seed that long ago was left forgotten in the snow 
                                                                     
And has a way with slow surprises all its own 

                                                                       
It s hard to show, but like a boulder rollin  slow 
                                         
Or a rumble deep in the ground 
                                                     
Things whisper low and by the time I really know 
                                                            
What s been movin  they ve settled down 
                                                      
Too late to see the way they shift around 
                                                                      
Too late to say there s bound to be another way 
                                                            
It s all been said and done without a sound  

        
                                                       
This comes to me, and now that I begin to see 
                                                 
It s not dramatic, it s nothing grand
                                      
I used to be half of the whole of you and me 
                                        
Now I m the limit of all I am 
                                                                        
It seems so simple, nothin  much to under stand 
                                                                          
You walked out and closed the door, said I don t live here anymore Am
                                                                  
And now nothin s hangin  heavy in my hands 
                                                         
Now nothin s hangin  heavy in my hands
                      
In my hand  in my hands
                            
Nothin s hanging heavy in my hands
