The Steady Slowing Down Of The Heart (Bonus Track)

(专辑： Love Story - 1995)

Moonlight shines on you and me
Guides the sailors back from the sea
You try sleeping, but
All that you hear is
The steady slowing down of my heart

It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
Wishing you'd never woke

The car I drive was built to last
It does not go particularly fast
I'm in no great hurry
Is that the cause or the effect of
The steady slowing down of my heart?

It's not that I got lazy
It's not about getting old
It's just that there's no miracle cure
For getting used to someone

Now, Jimmy spends a fortune
Because he's down to twice a week
His shrink says
A crisis in mid-life is only natural

Julie got a facelift
You know, she's only 33
Jesus...
May I give thanks for Brigitte Bardot?

Moonlight shines on you and me
Guides the sailors back from the sea
As I lie sleeping
Am I silent or do you hear
The steady slowing down of my heart?

It's not that you get lazy
It's not about getting old
It's not that you get up in the morning
Wishing you'd never woke

Julie was aroused by Jimmy's lack of self esteem
Her shrink said
When a man takes a mistress, it's often helpful

Jimmy asked for help and she was happy to oblige
His shrink said
Guess this was a bad year to quit smoking
