Milk Float Before Sunrise

Lyrics
The motor hums so quietly Along the sleeping street Glass bottles in their crate Clink a gentle beat Doorsteps wait in blue For something cold and white I roll on by the windows Before the morning light Milk float, milk float, rolling slow Leave a little morning where the quiet goes Milk float, milk float, rolling slow Every doorstep gets a little hello Roll on, roll on, easy and slow A cat looks up from a wall And blinks at my small light A baker waves a floury hand Through the window in the night The sky is turning pearly Behind the chimney stacks I count the doors and bottles And I never look back Milk float, milk float, rolling slow Leave a little morning where the quiet goes Milk float, milk float, rolling slow Every doorstep gets a little hello Roll on, roll on, easy and slow Clink, clink, one more street Hush, hush, soft on my feet The sun is only thinking Of coming up to meet Milk float, milk float, rolling slow Leave a little morning where the quiet goes Milk float, milk float, rolling slow Every doorstep gets a little hello Roll on, roll on, easy and slow Roll on, roll on Easy and slow Good morning Almost
