6AM Morningside Lyrics
and 6 am in morningside
the first car rushes by
we walk down to the garden
and the sunlight fills your eyes
and stops me for a moment
'till i turn and look the other way
the windows are all open
and it's saturday
and where i ride the evening turns to blue
and fades away
a silence hangs enchanted
through sunset and the lane
the air is charged with sunlight
and your name is ringing through my mind
cathedral bells and sunlit is the night
the first car rushes by
we walk down to the garden
and the sunlight fills your eyes
'till i turn and look the other way
the windows are all open
and it's saturday
and fades away
a silence hangs enchanted
through sunset and the lane
and your name is ringing through my mind
cathedral bells and sunlit is the night

This is one of my absolute favorite Clientele songs because it's so incredibly evocative of the perfect place and time.
This song paints a perfect picture of a couple strolling through an older, rural part of town in the very early morning. When the sunlight fills the woman's eyes, it stops him for a moment because he realizes that they've been walking around for hours. They've had the perfect night strolling in the cool summer evening, talking and growing close.
At the end of the song, he's driving home, likely to sleep. The mix of dawn and cool air is comfortably overwhelming as this night's memories run through his head.
@MichaelJohnston This is my favorite Clientele song too. Reminds me of one of Velvet Underground's slower songs, or some old Fairport Convention song. I love the two contrasting snapshots: the first part in the morning, and the second part in the evening, heading home with a smile. (Nitpick: the singer says "where i ride the evening turns to blue", which suggests he's taking either a bike or public transport, like a bus or tram.)
