Lyrics

Verse

Up on your toes down the length of the hall

Sneaking past nobody, quiet and tall

Half of the world is a game to you yet

And none of it something to worry or fret

Chorus

New ways of moving, new ways to go

Some of them stay and some of them go

I'll write down the date and I'll notice the days

New ways of moving, love, take your time

Verse

Some days you're low and some days you're tall

Floating along down the length of the hall

I'm keeping a note and I'm not keeping score

Just watching the weeks from the end of the hall

Chorus

New ways of moving, new ways to go

Some of them stay and some of them go

I'll write down the date and I'll notice the days

New ways of moving, love, take your time

Verse

And if it's a thing that we'll work on one day

Then slowly and gently is how we will play

There's nobody hurrying, nothing to prove

Just you and the whole of your new ways to move

Chorus

New ways of moving, new ways to go

Some of them stay and some of them go

I'll write down the date and I'll notice the days

New ways of moving, love, take your time

Outro

Take your time, love

Take your time
