Lyrics
Glass walls fogged with a sleepy green breath A heat lamp humming against the cold and the dark Tomato vines leaning like they're listening Seedlings in rows with their small open hands Outside the frost is writing on the lane In here it's summer, trying not to explain Little lamp, glow on, grow on Keep the whole warm world till dawn Roots go down where no one sees Leaves lean up toward quiet seas Little lamp, glow on Water drips from a pipe in a slow soft beat I wipe the window with the heel of my sleeve A moth drifts in for a taste of the light We share the warm air, we are fine tonight Outside the frost is writing on the lane In here it's summer, trying not to explain Little lamp, glow on, grow on Keep the whole warm world till dawn Roots go down where no one sees Leaves lean up toward quiet seas Little lamp, glow on Everything that's growing grows in the dark First in the soil and then in the heart Don't count the hours, don't measure the green Some of the best things are barely seen Little lamp, glow on, grow on Keep the whole warm world till dawn Roots go down where no one sees Leaves lean up toward quiet seas Little lamp, glow on Little lamp Glow on, grow on
