Verse

The clock falls back an hour.

Die Uhr springt eine Stunde zurück.

We meet in the gray light.

Wir treffen uns im grauen Licht.

Your shift ends as mine begins.

Deine Schicht endet, meine beginnt.

Two ghosts in the heavy mist.

Zwei Gespenster im dichten Nebel.

Chorus

The hour our work had swallowed.

Die Stunde, die unsere Arbeit verschluckt hatte.

Breakfast while the world sleeps.

Frühstück, während die Welt schläft.

The hour our work had swallowed.

Die Stunde, die unsere Arbeit verschluckt hatte.

Coffee in a quiet booth.

Kaffee in einer ruhigen Nische.

The diner door is locked tight.

Die Tür des Lokals ist fest verschlossen.

But Joe lets us stay inside.

Doch Joe lässt uns drinnen bleiben.

Scrambled eggs on paper plates.

Rührei auf Papptellern.

Steam rises from our white cups.

Dampf steigt aus unseren weißen Tassen.

The hour our work had swallowed.

Die Stunde, die unsere Arbeit verschluckt hatte.

The sun waits behind the clouds.

Die Sonne wartet hinter den Wolken.

Die Zeit steht nur für uns still.

Daylight will come too soon.

Das Tageslicht wird zu früh kommen.

Safe here in the stolen dark.

Sicher hier im gestohlenen Dunkel.
