歌詞

The afternoon just tapped my shoulder

Soft across the desk

The papers stand in patient stacks

The list is halfway done

My pen was racing line to line

Then in walked the sun

A stripe of gold across the page

Was kindly in my way

I lift my eyes up from the work

And summer's standing there

The window's been this bright all day

I just forgot to stare

The ink can dry, the list can sit

The clock is on my side

For one small glance became a pause

And the pause is opening wide

I lift my eyes up from the work

And summer's standing there

The window's been this bright all day

I just forgot to stare

Mmm... mmm... mmm

I lift my eyes up from the work

And summer's standing there

The window's been this bright all day

I just forgot to stare

The afternoon just tapped my shoulder

I think I'll turn around
