A body no longer running still knows how; hands explain more to a grandson than words can.

The doing stops; the knowing stays.

English slow-folk direction · fingerpicked guitar, spare fiddle and older male-register idea

Recipe means a remembered way of moving, not a cooking recipe. Some actions are no longer performed, but knowing has not taken its bow. Asked by his grandson, the speaker points to his hands. Experience becomes visible without diagnosing any real person.

The 58 BPM folk direction places fingerpicked steel-string guitar and spare fiddle beside an older male-register idea with tremor and short breaths. A dry close room lets pauses speak; vocal texture is not evidence of an actual singer’s age or illness.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1] I still know how to run I just do not do it now the knowing did not leave me when the doing took a bow [Chorus] It is all still in here the turning and the speed the body keeps the recipe long past the need [Verse 2] My grandson asks me, show him I tell him, watch my hands the hands can still explain it better than the man [Chorus] It is all still in here the turning and the speed the body keeps the recipe long past the need
