A Little Courage

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Blue on the window, blue in the cup Morning takes its time waking up I leave your letter beside the keys The paper bends in the coastal breeze [Pre-Chorus] If you call, I won't ask where you've been I'll let the quiet let you in [Chorus] Óia, look what the tide brought back A little courage in a paper sack Óia, hold it close, don't let it fall I was waiting by the kitchen wall [Verse 2] Blue is the ribbon around my wrist A small reminder of what I missed Your old red sweater hangs by the door I don't wear it, but I want it more [Pre-Chorus] If you call, I won't count the years I'll leave the light on through the tears [Chorus] Óia, look what the tide brought back A little courage in a paper sack Óia, hold it close, don't let it fall I was waiting by the kitchen wall [Bridge] Maybe love is not a thunderclap Maybe it's a road that doubles back Maybe your hand will find my sleeve Maybe I'll stay, maybe you'll leave [Final Chorus] Óia, look what the tide brought back A little courage in a paper sack Óia, hold it close, don't let it fall I was waiting, I was waiting after all [Outro] Blue on the window, blue turning gold Your name feels warmer when I say it low
