Todd you need a resistor in the circuit to reduce the voltage to the motor.
If you had another solenoid (could be any old cheap unit) you could run it in
parallel with the main solenoid with a resistor connecting it to the motor.
Add a double pole switch and use it to change from the main solenoid to
the, now, low powered solenoid for a slower return of the line.
