Drying Slow
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
You stepped out before the light came
left one print upon the stone
by the time I noticed you'd gone
but I knew you'd not gone far from home

[Pre-chorus]
I stood there watching it fade
not wanting the day to start
some part of you always stays

[Chorus]
Gladys, you're the mark that lingers
long after the moment's passed
two syllables, steady as breathing
Gladys, I knew this love would last

[Verse 2]
Some loves shout and some loves whisper
yours has always been the quiet kind
like water sinking into concrete
you left your shape on my mind

[Pre-chorus]
I stood there watching it fade
not wanting the day to start
some part of you always stays

[Chorus]
Gladys, you're the mark that lingers
long after the moment's passed
two syllables, steady as breathing
Gladys, I knew this love would last

[Bridge]
Some things dry up and disappear
others soak in, stay somehow
you are the second kind of thing
and I am glad of you right now

[Chorus]
Gladys, you're the mark that lingers
long after the moment's passed
two syllables, steady as breathing
Gladys, I knew this love would last

[Outro]
The step is dry now, but I remember
you were here, and here you stay
