Kitchen Door Rock

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heavy boots by the kitchen door She never minded a hardwood floor Fixing the leaks and the broken frames While I was lost in my head and my games She wore the strength like a second skin Open arms letting the chaos in [Pre-Chorus] Never asked for a shield Or a saving grace She was the anchor In a shifting place [Chorus] She was the rock when the sky fell down The toughest heart in this fragile town Standing tall through the pouring rain Holding the joy and absorbing the pain Yeah, the world looks at her and thunders (looks at her and thunders) She stands there like she never wonders [Verse 2] Morning came through the cracked back glass She’d already done what I let pass Coffee gone cold on the stove by nine Still she found a reason to shine If I came home with a mess to keep She’d laugh it off and let me breathe [Pre-Chorus] Never asked for a shield Or a saving grace She was the anchor In a shifting place [Chorus] She was the rock when the sky fell down The toughest heart in this fragile town Standing tall through the pouring rain Holding the joy and absorbing the pain Yeah, the world looks at her and thunders (looks at her and thunders) She stands there like she never wonders [Bridge] And if I ever say it late She held this place together Hands full of the heavy days Love made her even better [Final Chorus] She was the rock when the sky fell down The toughest heart in this fragile town Standing tall through the pouring rain Holding the joy and absorbing the pain Yeah, the world looks at her and thunders (looks at her and thunders) She stands there like she never wonders She was the rock when the sky fell down
