One Small Hello

מילים

[Verse 1] The station clock was losing minutes Rain drew rivers on the glass You were balancing a paper moon And laughing as the buses passed I held the door; you dropped your ticket It skated underneath my shoe We stood there while the whole town hurried Like the night had made us room [Chorus] One small hello, and the street grew wide A little lost, with you beside me One small hello, and the hours let go We found a place the world couldn't hurry [Verse 2] You said the moon looked like a button From a coat the sky outgrew I said I'd keep it in my pocket If you'd tell me where it flew We missed the last ride out of town And watched the bakery unlock By dawn, you'd drawn a crooked map Across the back of my watch [Chorus] One small hello, and the street grew wide A little lost, with you beside me One small hello, and the hours let go We found a place the world couldn't hurry [Bridge] Now every year the clock runs late Whenever rain comes tapping through I leave one ticket by the window Just in case the night brings you [Outro] The bakery opens before sunrise Two warm rolls, one paper moon
