Lyrics
Intro
The alarm rings quiet in the dark
I reach across but don't disturb your sleep
Verse 1
Five-thirty comes like clockwork
Stealing moments from this bed
Your breathing steady on my shoulder
While I slip away instead
Chorus
I'm counting hours back to you
Back to you
Verse 2
The kitchen floor is freezing bare
I make my lunch in silence here
Watch the window frame your garden
Where you'll water roses near
Chorus
I'm counting hours back to you
Back to you
Verse 3
At my desk I trace the memory
Of your fingers through my hair
Wonder if you found my letter
Left beside the morning pair
Pre-chorus
The sun moves slow across the sky
Each minute feels like three
Chorus
I'm counting hours back to you
Back to you
Bridge
Six o'clock means turning homeward
Seven means your voice again
Eight o'clock we're washing dishes
Nine we're planning where and when
Verse 4
Now the day folds into evening
And your head finds my chest
Tomorrow I'll rise before you
But tonight we both can rest
Chorus
No more counting hours to you
Here with you
Outro
The alarm will ring tomorrow
But for now you're safe and warm
End.
