Intro:                     

                        
It was one day at five thirty
                    
I went down to the beach
                  
The afternoon was dying
           
There was purple at its feet

                     
I love the shades of nightfall
                     
The faded blues and greys
                   
The silver on the water 
                                             
Seems to push so many things away, all away

                  
The candle of the day
                  
Has burnt down to wick
                  
The candle of the night 
    
Has not yet been lit

                    
One hour and five minutes
                  
That’s all I ever need
                           
To take the faith from the mothership
                                                          	
See the glory god this is what I need, what I need       what I need

Solo:                               

                 
One hour in that air
                    
Some gentle people there
                               
Nothing’s going to get you or bring you down
                                                                
The sun has gone and it’s taken your troubles somewhere, somewhere   

Outro:                                                   
                                                                ... ... ...
