[Verse 1] Window by the kettle steam I watch the block turn gold Crosswalks stretch and yawn awake Like they’re shaking off the cold A scooter hums below the lane Bread warms in the corner shop Your name stays soft on my tongue While the sleepy buses stop [Pre-Chorus] And the sky leans in Through the blinds Painting silver on the floor Every small thing wakes In its time I can feel the day at the door [Chorus] Glass morning, hold me close Glass morning, let it glow City waking, slow and slow We rise in the golden flow Glass morning, stay with me Glass morning, softly breathe I was made for this first light You and I in morning peace [Verse 2] Laundry lines begin to sway A mailman crosses the block Cafe chairs come out in rows And the corner clock goes tick by tick I press my palm against the pane Catch the light on my skin All the noise is still asleep But the bright day’s crawling in [Pre-Chorus] And the sky leans in Through the blinds Painting silver on the floor Every small thing wakes In its time I can feel the day at the door [Chorus] Glass morning, hold me close Glass morning, let it glow City waking, slow and slow We rise in the golden flow Glass morning, stay with me Glass morning, softly breathe I was made for this first light You and I in morning peace [Bridge] Let the rush wait outside Let the shadows fade I want this quiet minute Before the world gets brave [Chorus] Glass morning, hold me close Glass morning, let it glow City waking, slow and slow We rise in the golden flow Glass morning, stay with me Glass morning, softly breathe I was made for this first light You and I in morning peace
