Late Train Pillow

Lyrics

[Intro] Kettle clicks, room goes still Notebook open by the windowsill [Verse 1] You leave your blue mug by the sink I read the same old page and lose the link Laundry chair got one clean shirt Small plans, soft hands, nothing has to hurt The fan turns slow above the bed A dozen little thoughts line up in my head I let them pass, I let them go There’s nowhere I need to be, nowhere I need to show [Chorus] Take it easy, let the whole day fade No big promise, no debt to be paid If you’re tired, you can rest right here Keep the room quiet, keep the morning clear [Verse 2] Rain taps twice on the metal rail Someone downstairs pulls the basement pail Your message says, “I made it home” I type three words, then leave the phone alone The clock has lost its authority Minutes fold into a softer kind of sea We don’t need answers dressed up bright Just a little breathing room before the light [Chorus] Take it easy, let the whole day fade No big promise, no debt to be paid If you’re tired, you can rest right here Keep the room quiet, keep the morning clear [Bridge] Tomorrow can wait by the unopened door We’ve carried enough across this floor Put your head down, loosen your grip Let the night be kind to the edges of it [Outro] Kettle cools, room goes still Notebook closed by the windowsill
