歌詞

The china glows like quiet moons

Arranged upon the lace

The cups are catching lamplight now

In rims of painted gold

Each saucer is a little moon

A hundred years old

The afternoon leans on the wall

And hums instead of talks

Slow, my heart, the hour is velvet

The china keeps the beat

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And rest is soft and sweet

My eyelids waltz on every three

The teapot's fast asleep

Its knitted coat rides gently up

And down, in dreaming deep

The lace holds all its little moons

The lamps hold all the gold

Slow, my heart, the hour is velvet

The china keeps the beat

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And rest is soft and sweet

The loveliest hours end like this:

Not with a closing door

But swaying soft and slower still

Until they ask no more

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Slow, my heart, the hour is velvet

The china keeps the beat

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And rest is soft and sweet

Slow, my heart, the hour is velvet

The china keeps the beat

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And rest is soft and sweet

The china glows, the lamplight nods

The waltz tucks in the room
