Spaceport Lounge Lullaby

(hummmm) Ahhhh (ooh)

In a quiet port of steel and glass I watch the slow

ships drift past

A small sign swings in the cooled air

Like it remembers who was there I hold my drink with steady

hands And let the night obey its plans

Something in the ceiling hums too low

A silver note that will not go

I smile as if I don't know

Stay a little, let the time move slow

Let the room turn soft and glow If the stars feel close,

don't let it show Stay a little,

let the time

move slow A traveler laughs,

then looks away Like they heard a name I shouldn't say

The jukebox plays a tired tune That curls around the crooked moon

I count the tiles,

I count the cost Of every hello I have lost

One step in, one step out

That's how the doorway keeps its doubt

Hold the chord till it turns thin Then let the calm come

back again

Stay a little, let the time move slow Let the room turn

soft and glow If the stars feel close,

don't let it show Stay a little,

let the time move slow (la la) Ahhhh (hummmm)
