Two Time Zones, One Small Light

“I wrote this for a friend who'd moved far away, when midnight for me was lunchtime for her. The tape wobble on the intro was an accident I refused to fix.”

Lyrics
It's midnight here, it's noon where you are Your sun is on the table, mine is on the far Side of the world, behind a sleeping town I prop the phone against a cup And watch your morning come around The line is thin, the picture's slow But your small laugh still gets through Two time zones, one small light Glowing in the middle of my night You say good morning, I say good night And somehow that feels right Two time zones, one small light Keep the line open, hold on tight We'll meet where the clocks are kind In the glow of a screen tonight You show me the street where the market wakes Bread and rain and the bicycle brakes I show you the window, the neon and the stairs The empty bus that passes by Like it's got nowhere to be, nowhere to care The line is thin, the picture's slow But your small laugh still gets through Two time zones, one small light Glowing in the middle of my night You say good morning, I say good night And somehow that feels right Two time zones, one small light Keep the line open, hold on tight We'll meet where the clocks are kind In the glow of a screen tonight If the signal drops, don't worry I'll still be here Counting the hours like small stars Till you appear Distance is just a long way Of saying near Two time zones, one small light Glowing in the middle of my night You say good morning, I say good night And somehow that feels right Two time zones, one small light Keep the line open, hold on tight We'll meet where the clocks are kind In the glow of a screen tonight Good morning, good night One small light
