Lyrics
Ten past three, the house is still The fridge hums low, the pipes are cool I woke for no good reason And I'm sitting here, a fool In socks and an old jumper With a glass of water, small Listening to the quiet Say it isn't much at all Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong Only the night being long The clock will turn, the grey will come And you will sing your morning song Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong Rest your head, you're not alone Ten past three is just a time And the hour will take you home Every worry gets so big In the dark behind the door The unpaid bill, the unsaid word The things I did before But I put my hand on the table Feel the wood is warm and plain And the worries shrink to teacups In the soft and steady rain Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong Only the night being long The clock will turn, the grey will come And you will sing your morning song Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong Rest your head, you're not alone Ten past three is just a time And the hour will take you home A fox goes by the garden wall A car goes down the street Somebody else is awake tonight With tired and thoughtful feet We never meet, we never speak But we keep the same slow hour Like candles in a row of homes Each one a quiet flower Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong Only the night being long The clock will turn, the grey will come And you will sing your morning song Nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong Rest your head, you're not alone Ten past three is just a time And the hour will take you home And the hour will take you home The hour will take you home
