Dockside Tea Hut, Steam on the Glass
by Moth Static
“Steam on the window of a harbour tea hut, and the closing track. Tomas insisted on adding the kettle, and he was right.”

Lyrics
Down by the dock there's a little tea hut The window is warm and the night is shut Steam on the glass, a kettle that sings The harbour is quiet, the harbour is dim Pour me a cup, pour it warm Steam on the glass, keep out the storm Sit by the water, sit by the light The tea hut is open all night The workers come in with their hands so cold Wrapped in their coats, tired and old Nobody asks where the long day went They sit and they sip and they are content Pour me a cup, pour it warm Steam on the glass, keep out the storm Sit by the water, sit by the light The tea hut is open all night Ships are sleeping, ropes are tied Tea is steaming, stay inside Slow, slow, the night goes by Warm cup, warm sky Pour me a cup, pour it warm Steam on the glass, keep out the storm Sit by the water, sit by the light The tea hut is open all night Steam on the glass The tea hut is open all night
