This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Main streets lights, morning hours
Lead me down to quiet streets
Early traffic with it's radio songs
Someplace two rivers meet
Will you be in my life?
Kiss me in the shadows
Time, time, time's gonna keep the promise
It's alright, it's alright
Mercy falls on my sacred ground
Pretty woman cries but makes no sound
I am lost, it don't matter
If the paper house comes tumbling down
Gonna be in your life, standing in the shadows
Time, time, time's gonna make the days flow
It's alright, the promise
It's alright, the loveless
Hold me a moment in time
The prayers of all the people will fly
Over the city tonight
I'll wait for the sound of your voices
To sing
Love comes and it's alright, that's all
Hold me a moment in time
The prayers of all the people will fly
Blessing the city tonight
I'll wait for the sound of our voices
To sing
Love comes and it's alright, that's all
Believe me and it's alright, that's all
Lead me down to quiet streets
Early traffic with it's radio songs
Someplace two rivers meet
Will you be in my life?
Kiss me in the shadows
Time, time, time's gonna keep the promise
It's alright, it's alright
Mercy falls on my sacred ground
Pretty woman cries but makes no sound
I am lost, it don't matter
If the paper house comes tumbling down
Gonna be in your life, standing in the shadows
Time, time, time's gonna make the days flow
It's alright, the promise
It's alright, the loveless
Hold me a moment in time
The prayers of all the people will fly
Over the city tonight
I'll wait for the sound of your voices
To sing
Love comes and it's alright, that's all
Hold me a moment in time
The prayers of all the people will fly
Blessing the city tonight
I'll wait for the sound of our voices
To sing
Love comes and it's alright, that's all
Believe me and it's alright, that's all

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
