Slow And Steady Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir]
The lights go out, I am all alone
All the trees outside are buried in the, snow
I spend my night, dancing with my own shadow
And it holds me, and it never lets me go

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar Þórhallsson]
I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to kno-ow

[Verse 2: Nanna]
My dear old friend, take me for a spin
Two wolves in the dark, running in the wind
I'm letting go, but I've never felt better
Passing by, all the monsters in my head

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
And I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to kno-ow

[Post-Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
And I'm never ready
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That time won't let me
Show what I want to show

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
And I move slow and steady
But I feel like a waterfall
Yeah, I move slow and steady
Past the ones that I used to kno-ow

[Post-Chorus: Nanna & Ragnar]
And I'm never ready
'Cause I know, I know, I know
That time won't let me
Show what I want to show

[Outro: band]
Oh oh oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh oh oh, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh oh
Oh-oh oh, oh-oh oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
