A recorded reading of “Signal At Sunset”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
A long gold note spills; shadows stretch and paint the stall fronts. Your name is called; it circles our hands like a kite string. Turn your face to meet the glow, hello, evening slow. Hey oh, let’s go; stay low, don’t slow. Shop signs fade; dogs parade; kids chase light down to its smallest coin. We hold that last warm second. Keep the pace with daylight’s final hello. hello, soft and low. The whistle calls; the harp falls; then again: hey oh, let’s go; stay low, don’t slow, and the tail of the note says goodbye, sweet and thin.
Lyrics
(Wheee) gold spills wide. Shadows stretch, paint the street; colour floods the stands. Someone calls your name; it circles through our hands. Turn your face to meet the glow. (Hello) evening slow. Hey oh, let’s go Stay low, don’t slow Hey oh, let’s go Stay low, don’t slow Shop signs fade; dogs parade; kids chase the light. We hold the last warm second of the night. Keep the pace with daylight’s last hello. (Hello) soft and low. (Dee-doo-dee) whistle calls. (Waa-oo) harp falls. Hey oh, let’s go Stay low, don’t slow Hey oh, let’s go Stay low, don’t slow (Whistle tail) goodbye.
