Dear…
It’s a sweet sweet moment
The sun rise is lingering
Keep finding a way
To stall this day

Dear…
It’s a sweet sweet movement
the birds are straining their sounds
to lend some charm to Charm City’s clouds

CHORUS
the power’s out, and
the lines are down
The roads are out
It’s gonna be long slow day anyhow

Dear…
It’s a sweet sweet moment
the sun’s bright & lingering
Keep finding a way
To stall this day

Dear…
It’s a sweet sweet movement
I Love the curve & the sway
The birds are unnerved
and all have escaped

CHORUS

The calendar tells
The day & the date
And this old sailor knows
Just why you gotta wait one more day

Let’s stay in & wait
Out this stay-in date
Keep the world outside
Friday’s just got to wait

No cotton or fleece
can silence the screams
of your feet
if you hit the floor running dear
The world’s still spinning
So we’re not headed out
Nobody needs us
on a day like this
I insist
I can sweeten the deal
With my hand on your wrist & my mouth right here
It’s a whole day gone but I don’t care to care
It’ll only get better when we stay right here

The power’s out,
The lines are down
The roads are out, but
The heat is on
The coffee’s drunk & the calls are made
It’s gonna be long slow day anyway

But if the power’s back
we’ll keep those lights turned down
The roads could still be out
It’s gonna be long slow night anyhow
