The Quiet Things That Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You leave the porch light on when rain comes down Fold my coat and set it by the chair You know the exact way I take my coffee And notice when I say that I'm fine but stare [Pre-Chorus] No grand parade, no promises in gold Just your steady hand when the evening turns cold [Chorus] Love does It fills the kettle, waits up late It learns the roads my tired feet take It says, "Come here," when words won't come And makes a little room for everyone Love does Not with a spotlight or a grand display But in the ordinary, day by day I know what forever means because Of all the quiet things that love does [Verse 2] You save the last peach from the grocery bag Though you were hungry on the drive back home You send a picture of the crooked bookshelf Just to remind me I'm not here alone [Pre-Chorus] No perfect plan, no life without a bruise Just your shoulder there, with nothing left to prove [Chorus] Love does It fills the kettle, waits up late It learns the roads my tired feet take It says, "Come here," when words won't come And makes a little room for everyone Love does Not with a spotlight or a grand display But in the ordinary, day by day I know what forever means because Of all the quiet things that love does [Bridge] When the doctor calls, you hold my sleeve When the good news comes, you're first to leave Running down the hall, laughing through your tears You turn a passing moment into years [Final Chorus] Love does It keeps the porch light burning bright It finds my hand beneath the covers at night It says, "We're here," when days get rough And somehow that is more than enough Love does In every small and unremarkable way It builds a home from what we choose each day I know what forever means because Of all the quiet things that love does [Outro] You leave the porch light on And I come home because Of all the quiet things that love does
