[Verse 1]
Waking up a little early
On a Monday morning,
I listen to the sounds.
Drifting from the FM radio.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I brew some hot coffee,
And fill a thermos with hot tea.
[Chorus 1]
The hands of the clock
Point to 5a.m;
Time flows quietly
Beneath the dawn-lit sky.
[Verse 2]
I prepare my usual breakfast.
And pack a lunch box,
Letting the side dishes cool
So they won’t spoil.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
It takes a little extra effort,
But costs nothing at all.
[Chorus 2]
The hands of the clock
Point to 5a.m;
Time flows quietly
Beneath the dawn-lit sky.
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 3]
I had a long phone call last night,
Using my smartphone’s speaker,
Chaching up on each other’s lives
And discussing the soaring cost of living.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Gasoline prices still won’t come down,
And new cars are shockingly expensive.
[Chorus 3]
The hands of the clock
Point to 5a.m;
Time flows quietly
Beneath the dawn-lit sky.
[Bridge]
Stepping outside to a cloudy sky.
I took out the kitchen waste.
And locked the front door.
I got on the Cross Road Four.
[Final Chorus]
The hands of the clock
Point to 5a.m;
Time flows quietly
Beneath the dawn-lit sky.
[Outro]
