Shyest Gardens

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Your blue coat hangs beside the door Rain beads silver on the floor You leave the kitchen window wide So morning has a place to arrive [Pre-Chorus] I used to count the quiet hours Now I watch them soften in your hands [Chorus] Stay, while the whole world turns below Stay, where the shyest gardens grow If every road runs out of view I’ll find my way by finding you [Verse 2] The kettle clicks, the curtains stir You hum the tune you half-forgot I learn the shape of ordinary And how it means more than I thought [Pre-Chorus] When old fears gather at the door You say my name, and they grow small [Chorus] Stay, while the whole world turns below Stay, where the shyest gardens grow If every road runs out of view I’ll find my way by finding you [Bridge] And if the years unwrite the map If all our sure things change their names I’ll meet you in the little acts The cup you warm, the window frame [Final Chorus] Stay, while the whole world turns below Stay, let every hidden garden grow Though every road may lose its view I’ll choose the days that lead to you I’ll choose the days that lead to you [Outro] Your blue coat waits beside the door And I don’t count the quiet anymore
