Stillwater Hymn

I set a cup beside the window

Steam lifts like a small prayer

The room remembers morning slowly

And I let my shoulders fall

Nothing asks me to hurry

Nothing needs a name (ahhhh)

Stay with the slow light

Stay where the air is kind

If the world keeps turning

We can turn in time (ooh)

There is a garden in the ceiling

A river in the wall

I hear the house breathe evenly

While dust becomes gold

Your hand is only inches from mine

But peace has crossed the room first (mm)

Stay with the slow light

Stay where the air is kind

All we cannot carry

Can rest outside tonight (ooh)

Maybe beauty is not far away

Maybe it is bread on the table

A sleeve around the wrist

A window left open

A chord that does not need to resolve (ahhhh)

Stay with the slow light

Stay where the air is kind

Let the room be quiet Let the day unwind We are here

together

We are held in time (ooh)

The cup is cool now

The window holds the sky

Good night, gentle room (hummmm)
