Slow Dance on the Roof Before the Sun

Lyrics
Up the stairwell past the sleeping floors Rusty roof door, and the whole sky's yours Radio crackling a slow old tune Gray light breaking, pale as the moon Barefoot on the tar, coffee in a cup You hold out your hand and I stand right up City's still hushed, not a horn, not a sound Just the two of us, floating off the ground Slow dance on the roof before the sun Nobody awake, and the night's not done Sway with me honey, hold me tight Slow dance until the morning light A pigeon on the railing gives us a look You hum the melody, I forget the hook Orange on the edge of the water tower Waking up the town one soft hour Slow dance on the roof before the sun Nobody awake, and the night's not done Sway with me honey, hold me tight Slow dance until the morning light Let the day come slow, let it find us here Hand in hand with nothing to fear There's a light on below in the kitchen window Somebody's home, and we're swaying slow Slow dance on the roof before the sun Nobody awake, and the night's not done Sway with me honey, hold me tight Slow dance until the morning light Until the morning light Slow dance until the morning light
