about

Slow down - this is African time and it's in Peter's blood. The recording was done in a single take, minutes before the piano was trundled out of the living room of the rental house in Seattle that Peter and Rachel had occupied for twelve years, down a long ramp and into Peter's '63 Chevrolet pickup truck for the long ride to their new home the mountains of Central Oregon, with much help from neighbors celebrating the annual block party.

lyrics

My baby loves, ooh, my baby loves me
And she knows I take my time.
She knows I'll get there, sooner or later,
And when I do, it'll be just fine.
She's got a sweet disposition and it ain't her mission
To change me -
I can't turn on a dime.
I've got a slow way of livin'
And, if I'm forgiven,
I know that my love is on time.

I'm nobody special; just an ordinary man.
Why she loves me, I don't understand.

My baby needs me, ooh, my baby needs me,
Even though I go real slow.
She could do better, I always tell her,
But, she says she'll never, ever let me go.
We've got a soul of contentment with no old resentments
To work out; no mountains to climb.
I've got a slow way of livin', but I'll go as I'm driven,
'Cause I know that my love is on time.
A slow way of livin', but if I'm forgiven,
I know that my love is on time.

Thanks to our old neighbors for their help in moving the piano out of the house and into Peter's truck.

With respect being a songwriter, as discouraging as my 49 years in USA have been, Rachel and I persevere, regardless. What else do we have to offer to the world? Thankfully, we DO have a few supporters across the globe who buy these songs, either because they like them or to give our morale a boost. Thanks hugely, friends. Your support is critical to why we get up each morning and plug on. ... more
