Where the Alpacas Walk at Dawn versuri

Versuri oltsev art – Where the Alpacas Walk at Dawn lyrics

Before the town has cleared its eyes
Before the cold retreats
The soft ones come through morning mist
Among the quiet streets
Past wooden gates and garden walls
Past rooftops white with dew
Hold hands, lift the wooden latch
And let the morning through

Where the alpacas walk at dawn
We follow soft and slow
Past the chimneys, past the market
Where the morning lanterns glow
In this very unusual town
Even hurry learns to wait
And the world turns warm and golden
Past the olden mossy gate

Gray hands wrapped around a warm cup
Bread rising in the air
Wool hung drying in the courtyard
Like soft clouds gathered there
Steps that know each cobblestone
Eyes that hold the sky
A town that never asks you
Where the years have gone or why

Where the alpacas walk at dawn
We follow soft and slow
Past the chimneys, past the market
Where the morning lanterns glow
In this very unusual town
Even hurry learns to wait
And the world turns warm and golden
Past the olden mossy gate

There are towns that keep the morning
The way a letter keeps a name
Where the smoke lifts up in silence
And the bells ring all the same
Where the stones have learned your footsteps
And the doors know when you’re near
A place that holds you gently
Through the turning of the year

Where the alpacas walk at dawn
We follow soft and slow
Past the chimneys, past the market
Where the morning lanterns glow
In this very unusual town
Even hurry learns to wait
And the world turns warm and golden
Past the olden mossy gate

At dusk, the hills turn amber soft
And the soft ones wander home
One lantern warm against the dark
One bell across the stone
In this very unusual town
The evening comes in slow
And the alpacas carry something
Only morning people know…
