The double halo porch light squints
At the morning like
A glow worm fighting sleep

I know you came over last night
Perhaps I didn't hear the bell
Or you decided not to ring it

But the air was steeped
But the air was steeped
But the air was steeped
This morning
In the old world

I still have your favourite cup
I conjured up a brew
Rallied of bergamot and you

Like a retired famulus
I raise a sunny smile in thought of all
The places you sawed me in two

And the air was steeped
And the air was steeped
And the air was steeped
This morning
In the old world

I found a younger breath
fresh as the year that I thought
I had lost it

The double halo porch light squints
At the morning like
A glow worm fighting sleep

But the air was steeped
But the air was steeped
But the air was steeped
This morning
In the old world
