[Verse 1]

In the garden or the wild

I can feel you like a child

Seeing shadows in the room

By the fall and the rise

Of the young and the wise

Playing tag with the moon

Chasing you

[Chorus]

When I was young, you were only a ghost

Taking old friends, leaving me alone

When we are gone, tell me where do we go so fast?

Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand

Making me weak, running in the sand

If I can't keep you, nobody can, so

Slow down, slow down

[Verse 2]

In the speed of the traffic

Or the rush in the rapids

When the ends come and meet

And I know you by the taste

From the moment we awake

By the sour in the sweet

And you can't see

[Chorus]

When I was young, you were only a ghost

Taking old friends, leaving me alone

When we are gone, tell me where do we go so fast?

Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand

Making me weak, running in the sand

If I can't keep you, nobody can, so

Slow down, slow down

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

When I was young, you were only a ghost

Taking old friends, leaving me alone

When we are gone, tell me where do we go so fast?

Taking my cheeks in the palm of your hand

Making me weak, running in the sand

If I can't keep you, nobody can, so

Slow down, slow down
