Canteen Hatch, Late Soup
by Cassio Lune
“A ladle of soup and a place to sit. It's the warmest hook I've written, and I kept the beat small so it wouldn't spill.”

Lyrics
Factory canteen, the hatch slides wide A ladle of soup and a place to sit inside Strip lights humming, steam on the glass Night shift friends let the quiet pass Bowl of soup, stay a while Warm hands wrapped and a tired smile Bowl of soup, stay a while Nobody rushes, no one's in style Cook in a hairnet, humming low Radio playing something slow Bread on a tray and a mug of tea Room for you and room for me Bowl of soup, stay a while Warm hands wrapped and a tired smile Bowl of soup, stay a while Nobody rushes, no one's in style Clock says three, the break is short Spoons ring soft like a small report Everyone here is far from home But the soup is warm, so we're not alone Back to the line when the bell rings clear Carrying the warmth we found in here Steam still curling in my chest One more hour, then I rest Bowl of soup, stay a while Warm hands wrapped and a tired smile Bowl of soup, stay a while Nobody rushes, no one's in style Stay a while Stay a while
