Open till the Sun

The club shut down, the street went pale We followed warmth and flour trails A baker raised his tired hand And sold us bread before the vans My friend was working through the night We saved a bag and waited outside Open till the sun Morning's only just begun Save a little joy for us We are more than what we've done She locked the doors behind her shift And took the pastry with a grin We walked down where the river turns And split the last one into thirds Open till the sun Morning's only just begun Save a little joy for us We are more than what we've done Some wore glitter, some wore grey The dawn looked at us all the same She hummed a tune against the breeze We made a dance of tired feet Open till the sun Morning's only just begun Save a little joy for us We are more than what we've done The river caught the waking gold We stayed until the bread went cold
