The Most Delicious Hours Lyrics by Shannon Stephens

The Breadwinner

0

Waking up to a hooting train
And the dark and the gusting rain
It's almost four; there's an hour more
To cur against you in the dark and warm
Days like dimes add up to a life
Spent with flies and fluorescent lights
But when it's dark and the house is quiet
The most delicious hours are yours and mine
How quickly the morning comes on stalking feet, like a thief
And how softly the daylight comes to swallow up all our peace
How greedy day would love to gobble this!
Blue light through our window, blue light on your skin
The sound of the streetlamp moving in the wind
The sound of your breathing going out and in
We get the groceries, we lick the stamps
Clean up the kitchen and water the plants
But I can't wait for the evening's slow air:
For harbor of night, and your breath in my hair
And how quickly the morning comes on stalking feet, like a thief
And how softly the daylight comes to swallow up our relief
