Slow Surprise

	作词 : Smither
	There is a way subtle changes come to stay
	Barely noticed and hardly known
	One day you'll say "My situation's locked away"
	But by tomorrow, you're all alone
	It seems so sudden, but it's not, it's only grown
	From a seed that long ago was left forgotten in the snow
	And has a way with slow surprises on its own.
	It's hard to show, but like a boulder rolling slow
	Or a rumble deep in the ground
	Things whisper low, and by the time I really know
	What's been moving, they've settled down
	Too late to see they're shifting 'round
	Too late to say "There's bound to be another way"
	It's all been said and done without a sound.
	This comes to me, now that I begin to see
	It's not dramatic, it's nothing grand
	I used to be half the whole of you and me
	Now I'm the limit of half a man
	Seems so simple, nothing much to understand
	You walked out and closed the door, said "I don't live here anymore"
	Now nothing's hanging heavy in my hands.
