Over the Rhine - Favorite Time Of Light lyrics

Leave the dishes in the sink don't overthink it Close up the brokenhearted piano Join me on the porch if you can swing it Let's dream an ocean in Ohio You've been working so hard I can feel it - The clean and honest sweat upon your skin I wanna see the rosy light on your face Is this evening free or did it cost us everything It's our favorite time of light Just before the day kisses the night You see the redwing blackbirds fly The sun's a big ol' lazy eye And when the day is bending low And rolling fields begin to glow Feels like we traveled all this way Just so I could hear you say It's our favorite Our favorite time of light Can you still hear those children singing? Remember Jesus Loves Me This I Know Now there's just a lone blue heron flying Dreaming an ocean in Ohio It's our favorite time of light Just before the day kisses the night You see the redwing blackbirds fly The sun's a big ol' lazy eye The moon is waiting in the wings Dreamin' up some midnight song to sing And I know we'll be okay Everytime I hear you say It's our favorite Our favorite time of light The dreams I've dreamed I give them all to you now I'm not really sure what shape they're in Maybe they were all just too expensive Maybe after dark we'll try again So add this to your list of simple beauties I know we're gonna miss it when we go While barren fields undress their gentle mysteries We dream an ocean in Ohio It's our favorite time of light Just before the day kisses the night You see the redwing blackbirds fly The sun's a big ol' lazy eye When they lay me down at last And this life is finally past Just remember me this way And don't forget to say It's our favorite Our favorite time of light
