歌詞

The clock pours out its minutes now

As slow as syrup goes

The room has gone molasses-slow

The lamps molasses-gold

Each minute takes a minute's rest

Before it can be told

The record turns like honey poured

It hums instead of plays

Slow, my heart, there's nowhere else

The sway is all we keep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And sweetness guards my sleep

My eyelids learn the waltzing count

They dip on every three

The empty mug still warms my hands

With what it used to be

The shadows sway against the wall

In gentle chocolate tones

Slow, my heart, there's nowhere else

The sway is all we keep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And sweetness guards my sleep

The sweetest hours pour the slowest

That's how you know they're true

They coat the evening's edges soft

And hold the warmth all through

Mmm... mmm... mmm

Slow, my heart, there's nowhere else

The sway is all we keep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And sweetness guards my sleep

Slow, my heart, there's nowhere else

The sway is all we keep

In peace I both lie down and dwell

And sweetness guards my sleep

The clock has one more minute poured

And lets it settle sweet
