Night Baker Knows the Sunrise

Lyrics
Two in the morning, the street is dark Flour on my hands and my apron The oven roars like an old friend I am the only one awake Dough is rising in the quiet Steam on the window, warm and slow Nobody sees the work I do But the whole town will know Hands in the dough Heart in the fire Rise up, rise up, bread in the heat The night baker's work is never beat Golden crust and the morning comes Warm for everyone Rise up, rise up, the sun is near Nobody knows that I was here But the smell goes out through the sleeping town And the sun comes up Trays on the rack, a hundred loaves The first light touches the glass A kid walks by with a school bag Smiling at the smell as he passes Hands in the dough Heart in the fire Rise up, rise up, bread in the heat The night baker's work is never beat Golden crust and the morning comes Warm for everyone Rise up, rise up, the sun is near Nobody knows that I was here But the smell goes out through the sleeping town And the sun comes up Open the door Cold air and warm bread The first customer waves And I wave back Rise up, rise up, bread in the heat The night baker's work is never beat Golden crust and the morning comes Warm for everyone Rise up, rise up, the sun is near Nobody knows that I was here But the smell goes out through the sleeping town And the sun comes up The sun comes up The sun comes up
