Where You Set Them Down

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your blue mug by the sink
Beside the note about the rain
I rinsed it out and watched the steam
Rise from the kettle once again
[Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat hook, a key, a half-read page
I find your kindness in the small things now
And carry it with me through the day
[Verse 2]
The garden thyme has reached the steps
The fence still leans beside the gate
I fixed the latch the way you showed me
It took two tries, but now it stays
[Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat hook, a key, a half-read page
I find your kindness in the small things now
And carry it with me through the day
[Bridge]
If I could tell you one more thing
It’s that the ordinary holds
A hundred little ways you loved us
In all the things you taught our hands to know
[Final Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat hook, a key, a half-read page
I find your kindness in the small things now
And carry it with me through the day
[Outro]
The blue mug dries beside the sink
The garden keeps its green
You left your blue mug by the sink
Beside the note about the rain
I rinsed it out and watched the steam
Rise from the kettle once again
[Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat hook, a key, a half-read page
I find your kindness in the small things now
And carry it with me through the day
[Verse 2]
The garden thyme has reached the steps
The fence still leans beside the gate
I fixed the latch the way you showed me
It took two tries, but now it stays
[Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat hook, a key, a half-read page
I find your kindness in the small things now
And carry it with me through the day
[Bridge]
If I could tell you one more thing
It’s that the ordinary holds
A hundred little ways you loved us
In all the things you taught our hands to know
[Final Chorus]
Some things stay where you set them down
A coat hook, a key, a half-read page
I find your kindness in the small things now
And carry it with me through the day
[Outro]
The blue mug dries beside the sink
The garden keeps its green
Style of Music
Intimate indie folk-pop, relaxed mid-tempo pulse, fingerpicked acoustic guitar with soft piano answers and restrained brushed percussion. Begin close and spare, widen with gentle bass and subtle harmony vocals in the chorus, then strip back for the bridge and finish with a natural, unhurried fade. Clear, conversational lead vocal; warm organic mix with roomy detail.
