Verse 1
Two in the morning and the ward is finally breathing
Everybody settled, nobody in trouble
You're at the desk with cold tea and the paperwork
And the corridor light doing that thing that it does
This is the hour nobody writes songs about
So I thought I'd have a go at it, Tomas
Chorus
Nothing happens until six, if we're lucky
Just the humming and the checking and the dark
Let your shoulders down for twenty minutes
The building's holding. You can stop a while
Verse 2
You came here from a hospital eight hours east
And you still ring your mother on your break at three
You do the jobs that nobody puts a hand up for
And you're gentlest with the ones who shout the loudest
I don't think anybody's told you that we noticed
We noticed. All of us. For years
Chorus
Nothing happens until six, if we're lucky
Just the humming and the checking and the dark
Let your shoulders down for twenty minutes
The building's holding. You can stop a while
Bridge
The window at the end goes grey before the birds
And that's the only clock I really trust
We'll get there. We always get there. Sit down
Outro
Nothing happens until six
If we're lucky
Sit down, Tomas
