Snow Plough, Three A.M. Orange

by Cassio Lune

“I watched snow ploughs from the window and the orange light on the hill stayed with me. This is the sound of a white town at three in the morning.”

Lyrics

Three a.m., the town is white and still
An orange light turns on the hill
The plough rolls out, a slow big shape
Clearing a road for the morning's sake

Heater humming, coffee in the cup
Snow falls soft and keeps on falling up
In the headlights, flakes like static
Everything is quiet and automatic

Push the snow, push it slow
Orange light on the road below
Somebody's going to wake up soon
And find a clear way home by noon

Past the bakery, past the school
Past the frozen water pool
Every mailbox wears a little crown
I'm driving soft so I don't wake the town

Push the snow, push it slow
Orange light on the road below
Somebody's going to wake up soon
And find a clear way home by noon

Nobody sees me do this part
Just the quiet and the dark
That's all right, that's all right
I'm making room for the light

Push the snow, push it slow
Orange light on the road below
Somebody's going to wake up soon
And find a clear way home by noon

Push it slow, push it slow
A clear way home
