Copper Kettle Steam

Verse 1

Silver threads across the quilt

Patterns formed without a drop of guilt

Half awake

Tracing lines your sleepy shadow makes

Pre-Chorus

Bare feet on the pine

Small hand holding mine

World slowed down to a crawl

Leaning soft against the hall

Chorus

This is where the anchors drop

This is where the clock gears stop

Wrapped in a blanket of calm

Pulse hitting steady against my palm

Safe in the quiet we keep

Long after the birds have gone to sleep

Wrapped in a blanket of calm

Verse 2

Amber glow from a fading wick

Matches burned down short and thick

Eyelids heavy

Love flows over every single levee

Pre-Chorus

Copper Kettle steam

Like a drifting dream

Morning is a mountain away

Right here is where I want to stay

Chorus

This is where the anchors drop

This is where the clock gears stop

Wrapped in a blanket of calm

Pulse hitting steady against my palm

Safe in the quiet we keep

Long after the birds have gone to sleep

Wrapped in a blanket of calm

Bridge

No maps for the place we found

No noise or a single jarring sound

We are moored

We are mended

Everything else is suspended

Chorus

This is where the anchors drop

This is where the clock gears stop

Wrapped in a blanket of calm

Pulse hitting steady against my palm

Safe in the quiet we keep

Long after the birds have gone to sleep

Wrapped in a blanket of calm

Post-Chorus

Blanket of calm

Keep us here

Safe and clear

Safe and clear

In your palm
