That Will Do (9) (Joe Lyric Challenge)

Acoustic guitar intro

Verse 1

If she woke up in the morning,

eyes of button, quiet and round.

She'd hold her heart in silence,

Where my old mistakes are found.

She'd watch me keep my almosts,

just like pennies in a seam.

And lift them one by one to see what still might gleam.

Chorus

She wouldn't accuse,

She'd hold the space instead.

A lovin, steady patience where lonely things are met.

She'd press her palms to mine and say it's not so bad.

That every loose and trembling thread is

patient to be had

Verse 2

She might be quietly sad for chances that I have let go

Not angry, just a softer ache, that wants to help me grow.

She'd calm with forgiveness,

the places I can't reach.

Teach me to open doors,

and walk across the bridge.

Bridge

I stay,

I stay, by your side

I stay

I stay, do not hide

Oh, no

Oh, no

Oh, no

Verse 3

And if she were a person,

She'd be gentle in her try.

Not counting any failure,

only watching me and why.

She'd give me back my courage in the space between her palms.

A promise made of

breath and simple calms

Chorus

She wouldn't accuse,

She'd hold the space instead.

A lovin, steady patience where lonely things are met.

SHe'd press his palms to mine and say it's not so bad.

That every loose and trembling thread is

patient to be had

Outro

So keep her near,

though she is only you.

The darkness won't be over,

that part is true

But you have

stopped running

And that will do.

Spoken

Oh, oh

Yeah,

That will do
