Walk Slowly With Me — Vance Gilbert
Walk slowly with me (chorus)
Twelve years
Of twisting in the air
Ball catching
And landing like you
Never left the ground
Now there’s no legs
To navigate these stairs
Stand behind be, kindly
Lift me going up
And going down
(chorus)
Our first night
So uncertain you and I
We weren’t ready
Until you looked up at the lights
Of an airplane - you tracked it clear across the sky
Until it disappeared, blinking, behind the Jurgensen’s house
I know where you are
Put a good word in for me
Where will I go
When I’m done?
We’ll have to see
I will find you
Not even God can stop me
Yes, that’s your ball
In the corner, by the chair
With my best arm
I will throw it over there
For a good boy
Almost home now
Walk slowly with me
