about

In the song Late Bloomer Elly is joined by Iain Matthews (Fairport Convention / Matthews Southern Comfort). They sing about coming to a standstill whilst figuring out what it is that we really want. The song also features Kane Mathis (USA) on the Kora, a West African harp with 21 strings.

lyrics

I don't wanna run
I wanna take my time
I wanna look around me
See what treasure I can find

I am in no rush
I'm gonna take it slow
Take in all the scenery
As I wonder where I'll go

While the world keeps spinning
I come to standstill
Many of us were running
So many of us are ill

We think it's neccesary
To never fall behind
But if we'd all stop running
Who knows what we would find

Take it slow, take my time
I'll be the late bloomer
And I'll be fine
Take it slow, take my time
I'll be the late bloomer
And I'll be fine

I don't wanna worry
If I'll miss the boat
Sometimes it's just sink or swim
That just the way it goes

I don't wanna race you
Because I don't need to win
I wanna feel my hearts desire
See what lies within

While the world keeps spinning
I'll come to standstill
Many of us were running
So many of us are ill

We think it's neccesary
To never fall behind
But if we'd all stop running
Who knows what we would find

Take it slow, take my time
I'll be the late bloomer
And I'll be fine
Take it slow, take my time
I'll be the late bloomer
And I'll be fine
