"Slow Learner" lyrics - MARK KNOPFLER

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
