Sugar in the Rain

Windowpane's a watercolor scene Streetlights bleed in shades of tangerine Steam curls up from a ceramic cup The world outside has given up Just the gentle hum, a quiet space Finding my own steady pace And the hours melt like sugar in the rain This quiet beat inside my brain

Frees the thoughts and kills the pain Yeah, the hours melt like sugar in the rain Two hours feel like twenty minutes gone Just working 'til the break of dawn Fingers dance on silent, plastic keys A whispered thought caught on the breeze Pages turn without a sound On this peaceful, hallowed ground

The city sleeps, a distant sigh Beneath a purple, hazy sky And the hours melt like sugar in the rain This quiet beat inside my brain Frees the thoughts and kills the pain Yeah, the hours melt like sugar in the rain Two hours feel like twenty minutes gone Just working 'til the break of dawn

Vinyl crackle, a soft design A lazy, looping bass guitar line Everything is clear and slow Nowhere else I need to go In the zone, the focus deep Promises the mind can keep And the hours melt like sugar in the rain This quiet beat inside my brain

Frees the thoughts and kills the pain Yeah, the hours melt like sugar in the rain Two hours feel like twenty minutes gone Just working 'til the break of dawn
