Lyrics
Shift is done
Shutting the archive down
Snap the locks on the cabinet door
Shadows stretching long across the polished floor
Every single driver back upon the rack
Every little tester in its velvet pack
Turn the dial down, let the transformers cool
Standing alone by the empty wooden stool
Switch by switch,
off goes the light
Handing the world to the starry night
After hours in the archive,
into black
Leaving no worries or burdens on track
Rest in the hands that were steady and true
Tomorrow has plenty of miracles to do
Float the evening, sink in the calm
Nightfall descending like a healing balm
You're a healing balm
We are now at
Upper Session Road
After I was in the archive
Fade into black
Leaving no worries or burdens on track
Rest in the hands that were steady and true
Tomorrow has plenty of miracles to do
Flow of the evening, sink in the calm
Nightfall descending like a healing balm
The work is done, the screens are dark
Rest now,
until tomorrow's spurt
After hours in the archive, fade into black
Leave no worries or burdens on track
Rest in the hands that were steady and true
Tomorrow has plenty of miracles to do
Flow with the evening, sink in the calm
Nightfall is ending like a healing balm
Biomed archive
Clothes for the night
Rest well
