Lyrics Mark Knopfler

Mark Knopfler

Slow Learner

People say 'Where have you been?'

Or 'Where did you go?'

I'm a slow learner

I do everything slow

It's my way, has to be true

The world goes by me fast

But where you're concerned

I like good things to last

Where's the point in worrying

If we should start a little late

Where's the point in hurrying

When waiting feels so great?

I'm a slow burner

My last train left a while ago

I'm a slow learner

I do everything slow

So where's the point in worrying

If we should start a little late

And where's the point in hurrying

When waiting feels so great?

I'm a slow burner

My last train left a while ago

I'm a slow learner

I do everything slow

Yeah, I'm a slow burner

My last train left a while ago

I'm a slow learner

I do everything slow
