You lean back in the leather seat
The Hillys air is bittersweet
A hovercraft on glass so blue
The morning mist is clinging to you
Just let the engine idle low
Where the quiet currents flow
White birds circle in the sky
Watching as the world goes by
You watch the ripple hit the wall
The silver gulls begin to call
A steady hum beneath the floor
Who could ask for any more
The canal is a mirror bright
Holding on to morning light
The water knows a secret way
To keep the heavy world at bay
Just let the engine idle low
Where the quiet currents flow
White birds circle in the sky
Watching as the world goes by
Old roads lead to a dead end street
But here the salt and honey meet
No ticking clock to chase today
Just a slow drift in the bay
You count the birds in a lazy line
The afternoon is feeling fine
A copper coin for a lucky trip
A gentle sway and a steady slip
Just let the engine idle low
Where the quiet currents flow
White birds circle in the sky
Watching as the world goes by
Keep it in neutral.
Just float a while.
Just float.
