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 Allen sharako was here!
