Humming Afternoon - BeeWaee
There's music in the lazy air
The sunlight hums but unaware
The spoons and cups keep steady time
And silence bends into a rhyme
A passerby in linen grey
Moves like jazz that lost its way
I watch, I smile, I hum along
The day becomes a half-known song
Humming afternoon, slow and kind
A rhythm soft inside my mind
No place to go, no light to chase
Just golden hours in quiet space
The record spins a lazy tune
It smells of dust and sweet perfume
The air is thick with something kind
A melody I almost find
And if the breeze decides to play
It turns my thoughts to cabaret
The shadows stretch, the sugar melts
I hum to everything I've felt
No sound too loud, no plan too near
Just gentle laughter I can hear
The light itself begins to croon
In this humming afternoon
Humming afternoon, dawn and noon
You feel like time that wants to bend
Stay a while, soft and true
The day hums quietly like you
The city drifts, the air turns gold
The song remains, the story told
And I still hum with nothing new
Just peace and sun and afternoon
