Lyrics
A little glass tube on the balcony rail Catching the rain in the dark and the pale Drop after drop, it is filling up slow Measuring all that I cannot know Fill up slow, fill up slow Count the rain as the night clouds go Every drop is a small goodnight Fill up slow, till the morning light Lines on the side in a silver thread Numbers for the things that I never said The city is blurring, the roofs are a sea And the rain keeps a record for me Fill up slow, fill up slow Count the rain as the night clouds go Every drop is a small goodnight Fill up slow, till the morning light How much sky can a small glass hold How much night, how much gold I will read it when the grey comes round Quiet things make a gentle sound Fill up slow, fill up slow Count the rain as the night clouds go Every drop is a small goodnight Fill up slow, till the morning light Fill up slow Till the morning light
