A Little Weather

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mara, are you hiding in the attic again? The kettle's singing, and the day has begun I found two scarves and a mitten with no pair Come downstairs, I saved you the chair [Pre-Chorus] You used to race me past the garden gate Now every answer has to wait [Chorus] Come share the morning, come out of your room We can make a little weather in the living room Build a paper mountain, give the clouds a name If you bring the laughter, I’ll bring the game [Verse 2] I’m not hiding, I’m sorting old things A wooden bird with a broken wing There’s a note from the summer inside this box And a marble rolling beneath the clocks [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to fix what the years have changed Just sit beside me, even if it feels strange [Chorus] Come share the morning, come out of your room We can make a little weather in the living room Build a paper mountain, give the clouds a name If you bring the laughter, I’ll bring the game [Bridge] Maybe quiet is a door we can open slow Maybe hearts need time before they know Take my hand, no promises required We’ll find the spark beneath the tired [Final Chorus] Come share the morning, come out of your room There’s a patch of blue beneath the silver gloom Build a paper mountain, let it touch the frame If you bring your story, I’ll remember your name [Outro] Mara, are you coming? Give me just a minute I’ll leave the chair beside you And keep the kettle in it
