Slow to Fall
Style: Piano ballad

[Verse 1]
I watch the glass, I watch it drip
one slow bead giving up its grip
you're reading something across the room
I'd rather watch that fall than skip

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing about us ever hurried
nothing we loved was ever worried
this is the calm I've been reaching toward

[Chorus]
Clifford, you're the steadiest thing I know
water finds its way, slow
you don't have to shout to be sure
Clifford, that's the whole reward

[Verse 2]
The soil below just waits and waits
it never asks, it never rates
you hold me the same unhurried way
like love was never meant for haste

[Chorus]
Clifford, you're the steadiest thing I know
water finds its way, slow
you don't have to shout to be sure
Clifford, that's the whole reward

[Bridge]
Let the whole world rush and spill
I'll take the drop that takes its time
you are the calm behind the chill
the patience I could never buy or find

[Chorus]
Clifford, you're the steadiest thing I know
water finds its way, slow
you don't have to shout to be sure
Clifford, that's the whole reward

[Outro]
The glass still holds one final bead
and I still choose you, unhurried, freed
