lyrics

(a record settles into its groove)
(mmm... mmm...)

The kitchen tiles are cold at two
I'm barefoot anyway for you
A spoon of honey, held up high
It takes forever — so do I

Don't rush the amber off the spoon
(don't rush it)
We've got the whole side of the moon

Pour it slow, pour it slow
Sweetness only moves one speed
Pour it slow, pour it slow
Take the time that sweetness needs
(slow... slow...)
Pour it slow

Your shirt's still buttoned — one, two, three
Mathematics, patiently
The kettle sighs, we let it wait
Some things are better done up late

Pour it slow, pour it slow
Sweetness only moves one speed
Pour it slow, pour it slow
Take the time that sweetness needs
(oh... take the time)

Hurry is for other rooms
For buses, banks, and brooms
(not for us)
The record ends, the needle lifts
We stay right here between the shifts

Pour it slow, pour it slow
Pour it slow, pour it slow

(the record spins on nothing)
(mmm... stay)
