[Chorus]
Walk slowly with me

[Verse 1]
Twelve years
Of twisting in the air
Ball catching
And landing like you never left the ground

[Verse 2]
Now there's no legs
To navigate these stairs
Stand behind me
Kindly lift me going up and going down

[Chorus]
Walk slowly with me

[Verse 3]
On 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
[Verse 4]
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
But I will find you
Not even God can stop me
Yes, that's your ball

[Verse 5]
In the corner, by the chair
With my best arm
I will throw it over there
For a good boy
Almost home now

[Chorus]
Walk slowly with me
