Slow Days

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Winter settled in my chest again

The garden out back has gone to sleep

I count the cracks along the ceiling

Where the rain keeps finding its way in

Pre-Chorus

And I keep the porch light burning

So you know somebody's still here

Chorus

Slow days folding over slow days

I'm learning how to wait

The kettle sings a lonely note

And I let it fade

Verse 2

Your coat still hangs by the door

The pockets hold your fingerprints

I press my palm against the wood

Like something there might pull me through

Pre-Chorus

And I keep the porch light burning

So you know somebody's still here

Chorus

Slow days folding over slow days

I'm learning how to wait

The kettle sings a lonely note

And I let it fade

Bridge

Morning finds me at the window

Watching frost undo the grass

One more season turning over

One more year I let it pass

Chorus

Slow days folding over slow days

I'm learning how to wait

The kettle sings a lonely note

And I let it fade
