[Verse 1] The kettle’s cold on the sideboard A bowl of plums near the sink You trace the line on the window While the dark lets go like ink [Verse 2] Shoes by the door, still waiting For a road that’s just begun Your hands hold the first thin color Of a day not yet in the sun [Pre-Chorus] Soft on the sill, the new light stays Like a secret learning your name And I can feel the world turn slow Every gray thing starting to change [Chorus] Wake me in the pale gold Wake me in the calm We can keep this quiet Long enough to warm our palms Wake me in the pale gold Morning on the stream Let it cross the room now Like it came from a dream (From a dream) [Verse 3] The shutters breathe with the breeze now Dust turns silver in the air And the cups on the shelf are glowing Like they’ve been waiting there [Pre-Chorus] Soft on the sill, the new light stays Like a secret learning your name And I can feel the world turn slow Every gray thing starting to change [Chorus] Wake me in the pale gold Wake me in the calm We can keep this quiet Long enough to warm our palms Wake me in the pale gold Morning on the stream Let it cross the room now Like it came from a dream (From a dream) [Bridge] No hurry in the garden No ache inside the glass Just a little pink on the water And the night that’s fading fast [Final Chorus] Wake me in the pale gold Wake me in the calm We can keep this quiet Long enough to warm our palms Wake me in the pale gold Morning on the stream Let it cross the room now Like it came from a dream (From a dream)
