Lyrics
Midnight at the laundromat Humming lights and a warm dryer Quarters in my pocket Soft clothes turning higher Warm clothes spinning round and round Rhythm of the washing sound Warm clothes spinning, I'm okay Sweet and slow at the end of the day Plastic chair by the window Rain on the glass outside A stranger folds a blanket We smile and we don't hide Warm clothes spinning round and round Rhythm of the washing sound Warm clothes spinning, I'm okay Sweet and slow at the end of the day Nowhere else to be Just the hum and me Fresh and warm, fresh and warm Safe from the storm Basket full of sunshine Smelling clean and new I carry home the warmth And I think of you Warm clothes spinning round and round Rhythm of the washing sound Warm clothes spinning, I'm okay Sweet and slow at the end of the day Round and round Warm and sound
