[Intro] (Mm... mm...) [Verse 1] Rain has stopped, the kettle's low Lamplight pooling on the floor You're asleep with the window ajar Half a record left to play I won't wake you, no need to say Some things stay without a sound [Pre-Chorus] We've been through the storms We've seen the tide go out And here we are, still Still here [Chorus] These are the amber hours Nothing to prove, nowhere to be Slow and golden, you and me Let the city keep its hurry We have the amber hours Hold on easy, hold on free [Verse 2] Coffee steam on the glass Your coat still hangs by mine Years have softened all the edges Left the good part, left the line Not a promise, not a plea Just your hand resting in mine [Pre-Chorus] We've been through the storms We've seen the tide go out And here we are, still Still here [Chorus] These are the amber hours These are the amber hours Nothing to prove, nowhere to be Slow and golden, you and me Let the city keep its hurry We have the amber hours Hold on easy, hold on free [Bridge] (Instrumental, muted guitar and soft sax) Don't count the days Let the days count us Quiet love, no need for noise It was always enough [Final Chorus] These are the amber hours Nothing to prove, nowhere to be Slow and golden, you and me Let the morning find us here In the amber hours In the amber hours Hold on easy... hold on free [Outro] (Mm... mm...) Still here
