歌詞

The light comes in on longer legs

And gilds the tea below

September light is champagne-gold

It pours across the cloth

It finds the cup, the spoon, the steam

And turns them all to soft

The shadows stretch like sleepy cats

The afternoon slows down

Gilded hour, hold your gold

The cup and I will stay

From where the sun begins its rise

To where it slips away

The chai glows amber in the light

A lantern I can drink

The lamb lies gold-edged on the rug

Too warm to even blink

Nobody made this lighting plan

And no one could improve it

Gilded hour, hold your gold

The cup and I will stay

From where the sun begins its rise

To where it slips away

The sun spends summer overhead

And autumn at my table

It leans in low to share the tea

As long as it is able

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Gilded hour, hold your gold

The cup and I will stay

From where the sun begins its rise

To where it slips away

Gilded hour, hold your gold

The cup and I will stay

From where the sun begins its rise

To where it slips away

The light goes home on longer legs

And leaves the gold with me
