Lyrics
[Verse 1] We rolled in late on a friday train Two old friends with a week to spare A bowl of limes by the garden gate And the quiet waiting there You said, “remember our younger days?” I laughed, “we never learned to rest” Then the warm breeze crossed the courtyard And we let the day do the rest [Chorus] Take it slow, let the shoulders fall Let the good air find us both One deep breath, one easy afternoon And a little room to grow We came here carrying the years We leave a little lighter than before Old friends, new peace With an open heart and an unlocked door [Verse 2] Morning tea and a shaded walk Barefoot paths beside the trees You told me things you’d kept inside I listened with the island breeze A kind voice showed us how to pause A quiet hour, a gentler view No grand promise, just time enough To feel like ourselves anew [Chorus] Take it slow, let the shoulders fall Let the good air find us both One deep breath, one easy afternoon And a little room to grow We came here carrying the years We leave a little lighter than before Old friends, new peace With an open heart and an unlocked door [Bridge] By saturday the laughter came As easy as the supper wine We didn’t need to fix the past Just share the dusk and take our time [Final chorus] Take it slow, let the shoulders fall Let the good air find us both One deep breath, one easy afternoon And a little room to grow We came here carrying the years We leave a little lighter than before Old friends, new peace With an open heart and an unlocked door [Outro] The train rolls out, the morning stays We’ll meet again and make more days
