Dryer Hum, Quiet Town

by Rue Calloway-Voss

“The laundromat is warm and the dryers hum. This is where I started, and I wanted to go back to it.”

Lyrics

The laundromat is warm tonight
The dryers hum, the light is white
I sit and watch the clothes go round
It is a soft and steady sound

A towel falls and it is mine
I fold it slow, I take my time
No one is here, the street is still
The night is calm, I take my fill

Dryer hum, quiet town
Nothing here to weigh me down
Warm clothes, slow clothes
Let the quiet come

The glass is warm against my hand
I know the way, I understand
The world can wait, I am okay
I fold my clothes and stay a while

Dryer hum, quiet town
Nothing here to weigh me down
Warm clothes, slow clothes
Let the quiet come

Nothing to fix and nothing to say
The night is soft and slow

Dryer hum, quiet town
Nothing here to weigh me down
Warm clothes, slow clothes
Let the quiet come

Let the quiet come
Let the quiet come
