Steady Rhythm

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The copper kettle whistles on the stove The morning light is filtering through blinds He checks his reflection in the hallway glass Smoothing out a tie he hasn't worn in years A picture in a frame sits on the desk A quiet moment from a summer day in Maine [Chorus] He’s walking down the pier by the harbor front Tides pulling back, the wood planks underfoot Finding his pace in the salt-heavy air There is a steady rhythm to his life A heart finding room to expand and hold More than he thought he could carry alone [Verse 2] The evening paper open on the chair He marks the crossword with a steady hand There’s a comfort in the small, familiar things The way the lamp light carves across the room He calls a friend just to talk about the work And hears the warmth of a life being built [Chorus] He’s walking down the pier by the harbor front Tides pulling back, the wood planks underfoot Finding his pace in the salt-heavy air There is a steady rhythm to his life A heart finding room to expand and hold More than he thought he could carry alone [Outro] The tide keeps turning The harbor holds the dark He breathes the air He finds his own way home
