The Lavender Hour Bloom

[Intro]
[Verse]
The streetlights start to glow.
The traffic’s moving slow.
I turn the heavy key.
It’s only you and me.
The lavender hour is here.
The shadows drawing near.
[Pre-Chorus]
I find an old slip.
With a coffee drip.
A man bought a fern.
With nothing in return.
Love is a strange trade.
In the evening shade.
[Chorus]
Oh, my quiet friend.
Wait for winter's end.
You need the night.
To find the light.
Like a heart so blue.
Waiting for the new.
We sleep in the clay.
To find a better way.
[Post-Chorus]
To find a better way.
In the dusty gray.
To find a better way.
In the dusty gray.
[Verse]
You’re a lumpy brown thing.
Waiting for the spring.
A dusty onion heart.
Ready for a start.
I’m a bit the same.
Without a fancy name.
[Bridge]
(Scatting soft and low).
Doo-ba-dee-da-go.
(Flute begins to sigh).
Underneath the sky.
Piano keys are light.
In the coming night.
Archtop strings are warm.
Safe from every storm.
[Verse]
I trace your paper skin.
Where the dreams begin.
I look like a mess.
In a velvet dress.
We both need the gloom.
Just so we can bloom.
[Chorus]
Oh, my quiet friend.
Wait for winter's end.
You need the night.
To find the light.
Like a heart so blue.
Waiting for the new.
We sleep in the clay.
To find a better way.
[Post-Chorus]
To find a better way.
In the dusty gray.
To find a better way.
In the dusty gray.
[Outro]
