Slow Leonard Cohen

[Verse 1: Leonard Cohen]
I'm slowing down the tune
I've never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I wanna get there last
It's not because I'm old
It's not the life I led
I always liked it slow
That's what my mamma said

[Verse 2: Leonard Cohen]
I'm lacing up my shoes
But I don't want to run
I'll get there when I do
Don't need no starting gun
It's not because I'm old
And it's not what dying does
I've always liked it slow
Slow is in my blood

[Chorus 1: Leonard Cohen and Backing Vocals]
I've always liked it slow
I never liked it fast
With you it's “got to go”
With me it's got to last
It's not because I'm old
It's not because I'm dead
I've always liked it slow
That's what my mama said
