Underground Folk Rebel Doc Burkhardt - Second Shift Street Lyrics

We look to each other to wish
Lived more than our share of midnights
Morning isn't dawn my dear
Coffee is and chai is a memory

You slow down to walk with me
Together on my second shift street
You slow down to walk with me
Together on my second shift street

Too many people here locked into jobs
Oh nothing lasts forever
Working well past other business hours
and honest about opportunities

You slow down to walk with me
Together on my second shift street
You slow down to walk with me
Together on my second shift street

I've got steam for a voice, you'll always be my dear
I've got steam for a voice, you'll always be my dear

This walk I live
With most shops closed after I work
lamplight and midnight shift
Walking to only fall into bed
Best shifts end with me laying down
Just to hear your sleep breathing
Then you turn to sleep hold me
While your dreaming

I've got steam for a voice, you'll always be my dear
I've got steam for a voice, you'll always be my dear
I've got steam for a voice, you'll always be my dear
I've got steam for a voice, you'll always be my dear

You slow down to walk with me
Together on my second shift street
You slow down to walk with me
Together on my second shift street
