Once in a while when the wind lies sleeping
Deep in the night there's a silent light
That glows in my heart just barely a spark a gentle reminder of you
Sometimes I walk where the streets hang empty
Far from the crowd where the shadows fall
I sample the sound of the rain falling down and let go the past
And once in a while I still can smile
And face the day in a better way it's true
Once in a while I'm still in love with you
There will be times when the grey clouds come
They'll cover the sky try to hide the sun
They'll stand in my way but I'll make it okay I'm living this life after you
Sometimes I walk where the sea meets the river
I carry a torch calling out your name
I'll savor the sound of the waves as they pound and let go the mask
And once in a while
Once in a while once in a while I'm still in love with you
Deep in the night there's a silent light
That glows in my heart just barely a spark a gentle reminder of you
Sometimes I walk where the streets hang empty
Far from the crowd where the shadows fall
I sample the sound of the rain falling down and let go the past
And once in a while I still can smile
And face the day in a better way it's true
Once in a while I'm still in love with you
There will be times when the grey clouds come
They'll cover the sky try to hide the sun
They'll stand in my way but I'll make it okay I'm living this life after you
Sometimes I walk where the sea meets the river
I carry a torch calling out your name
I'll savor the sound of the waves as they pound and let go the mask
And once in a while
Once in a while once in a while I'm still in love with you

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,
