Carry It Slow

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Your coat still hangs on the post by the door

I keep meaning to move it

Some mornings I swear I can hear you downstairs

Humming something half-remembered

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know where the years went

Or how a voice can leave a room

I don't know how the light keeps coming

When I'm still holding on to you

Chorus

Oh you were the steady in my spinning

You were the ground beneath my feet

Oh I'm learning how to carry what you gave me

Learning how to let it be

Post-Chorus

Mm

Carry it slow

Mm

Let it be

Verse 2

They say the ache gets quieter with time

But time is such a liar

I still set the table like you might walk in

Still stoke a fire that won't warm me

Pre-Chorus

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

With all this love and nowhere to send it

I don't know how to say goodbye

When every part of me keeps holding

Chorus

Oh you were the steady in my spinning

You were the ground beneath my feet

Oh I'm learning how to carry what you gave me

Learning how to let it be

Post-Chorus

Mm

Carry it slow

Mm

Let it be

Bridge

If I call out will you answer

In the wind or in the rain

If I break down in the kitchen

Will you hold me just the same

Chorus

Oh you were the steady in my spinning

You were the ground beneath my feet

Oh I'm learning how to carry what you gave me

Learning how to let it be

Post-Chorus

Mm

Carry it slow

Mm

Let it go

Outro

Mm

Mm-hmm
