Lyrics
We carried two chairs up the stairs at four Past the sleeping doors, one flight more Left the party and the noise behind Rooftop quiet, you and mine City's blue and the lamps burn low Warm blanket round your shoulders, slow You hand me tea, I hand you time Nothing to say, and it's fine Dawn is coming soft, come sit with me Two chairs on the roof, and the sky is free Stars go out one by one Here comes the sun, here comes the sun Dawn is coming soft, no need to speak Your hand in mine and the morning sleek Love is two chairs and the light Slow and warm and right A pigeon lands on the railing's edge Church bell rings from far across the ledge Gold on your face, I watch it spill This is the moment, hold it still Some folks look for stars to wish upon I found mine at the edge of dawn Sitting here, nothing to prove Just the city and you Dawn is coming soft, come sit with me Two chairs on the roof, and the sky is free Stars go out one by one Here comes the sun, here comes the sun Dawn is coming soft, no need to speak Your hand in mine and the morning sleek Love is two chairs and the light Slow and warm and right Two chairs on the roof Slow and warm and right
