Rooftop Coffee, First Light Over Fifth Street

Lyrics

Climbed the fire stairs with a paper cup
Boxes still stacked in the hall
City's holding its breath, the sky's turning up
A little gold on the water tower wall

Last week I was a stranger on a bus
Nobody here knows my name
Now there's pigeons and steam and a church bell or two
And the morning comes just the same

So hold on easy, let the daylight climb
Rooftop at dawn, I've got nothing but time
A new town waking, a new song to learn
Somewhere below me a porch light burns
Leave a light on, I'll find my way
One more sunrise, one more day

Old guitar leaning on the chimney brick
Strings gone cold from the night
I'll play it soft for the sleeping streets
Till the windows catch the light

So hold on easy, let the daylight climb
Rooftop at dawn, I've got nothing but time
A new town waking, a new song to learn
Somewhere below me a porch light burns
Leave a light on, I'll find my way
One more sunrise, one more day

I was scared of the quiet, scared of the new
Scared I'd left the best of me behind
But the sun doesn't ask where you came from
It just shines, and it shines on mine

So hold on easy, let the daylight climb
Rooftop at dawn, I've got nothing but time
A new town waking, a new song to learn
Somewhere below me a porch light burns
Leave a light on, I'll find my way
One more sunrise, one more day

First light over Fifth Street
Easy now, easy now
