Glass river, runnin' through the city veins Afternoon light, turnin' gold in the lanes

I'm just driftin' easy, no place to be Glass river, flowin' right through me

Windows down, warm tides in the air Late sun, catchin' everything just there

Glass river, quiet and free Four o'clock and the city starts to lean

Shadows growin' long across the scene That golden hour everybody talks about

There it is, no reason to doubt Cruise down the boulevard, no rush at all

Electric piano low against the sprawl A warm bass note landin' soft beneath my chest

Right there, this hour is the best Streetlights haven't woken yet but soon they will

Corner store kids leanin' on the sill Somebody's cookin' somethin' through an open screen

Finest thing I've seen Glass buildings catchin' rivers in their face

Holdin' all the sky in one small space That's the city doin' what it does

Turnin' ordinary into what love was I don't need the fast lane, I got the right one

Don't need the spotlight, I am the quiet sun Somethin' about this hour makes everything alive

Glass river, flowin' and I'm doin' fine

Glass river, runnin' through the city veins

Afternoon light, turnin' gold in the lanes I'm just driftin' easy, no place to be

Glass river, flowin' right through me

Windows down, warm pads in the air Late sun catchin' everything just there

Glass river, glass river Quiet and free

Overpass above and the river below Both of them movin' in the same slow flow

Cyclists cuttin' through the waterfront path Yeah, leavin' a clean aftermath

Radio fadin' in and out of range Jazz station playin' somethin' soft and strange

Chord I can't name hangin' in the car Beautiful sounds like where we are

Red light holdin' me for a quiet deep Couple on the corner in the afternoon heat

She laughs at somethin, tips her head back wide

Glass river inside Traffic thins as the hour gets deep

City findin' it's late afternoon sleep Not asleep yet, just a lower key

Glass river, glass river Carryin' me as a

Kinda cool that doesn't need to say a word Just moves through the

City like a melody half heard Warm pad holdin' steady air

Everything in place Glass river in the distance

Light across it's face I used to chase the mornings

Now I know the afternoon Has got somethin' just as golden

In a softer set of tunes Yeah, let it carry you

I don't need the fast lane, no I got the right one

Don't need the spotlight I am the quiet sun

Somethin' about this hour Makes everything alive

Glass river flowin' And I'm doin' fine

Glass river runnin' through the city veins

Afternoon light turnin' gold in the lanes I'm just driftin' easy, no place to be

Glass river flowin' Right through me

Windows down Warm pads in the air

Late sun Catchin' everything just there

Glass river, glass river Quiet and free

Glass river, glass river Driftin' easy, city so golden

Glass river all the way home
