Where the Kettle Hums Low

Verse

Steam curls up from a chipped blue cup

Windowpane holds the amber dusk

Rooftops blink on, one by one

Copper light where the day comes undone

Pre-Chorus

Feet still here but I'm already gone

Rising soft where the streetlights yawn

Chorus

Floating over city lights

Slow and gold, the whole skyline

Kettle hums low, the room breathes wide

I'm floating over city lights

Verse

Paper lanterns strung on a wire

Someone's laughter, a distant choir

Traffic hush turns to river sound

Every window a lantern gowned

Pre-Chorus

Feet still here but I'm drifting on

Held by the hum till the dark comes on

Chorus

Floating over city lights

Slow and gold, the whole skyline

Kettle hums low, the room breathes wide

I'm floating over city lights

Bridge

Mm— the towers turn to candle wax

Mm— every siren fades to calm

Nothing to chase, nothing to hold

Just this warm cup and the blue turned gold

Chorus

Floating over city lights

Slow and gold, the whole skyline

Kettle hums low, the room breathes wide

I'm floating over city lights
