The Kettle Cools

[Verse 1]
The kettle clicks before the morning starts
A pale stripe of sun crosses the kitchen floor
You leave your keys beside the chipped blue bowl
And say you might be home a little more

[Pre-Chorus]
We have let the small days pass us by
But I still know the look behind your eyes

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
The garden gate leans out toward the lane
A paper list is pinned beneath a stone
You tell me how the old pear tree came down
I tell you how the house feels when you’re gone

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need a promise made in gold
Just a hand to reach for when it’s cold

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If the years have worn the edges thin
Let the quiet be where we begin
There’s a chair pulled close beside the light
And enough time left to get this right

[Final Chorus]
[No lyrics provided]

[Outro]
The kettle cools, the evening settles in
You leave your keys beside the bowl again
