Luminous Haze

I speak to the morning through half-open curtains

The room

keeps its warmth in the wood

A cup on the table,

a hand on the window

Nothing is asking me to run (ooh)

The air turns golden at the edge of the bed I count

one breath, then another

If time opens slowly,

I will not hurry

I will let the small light stay (ahhhh)

Stay with me in the quiet

Stay where the warm rain falls

Speak low, let the world grow softer

We are held by it all

(ooh, ahhhh)

The garden is silver after the rainfall

Leaves shine like they know my name

I speak every worry into the linen

And fold it away for the day (ooh)

I do not need an answer tonight

Only the blanket of sound

Only the window breathing with rain

Only my feet on the ground (hummmm)

Stay with me in the quiet

Stay where the warm rain falls

Speak low, let the world grow softer

We are held by it all

(ooh, ahhhh)

I leave the lamp on for the evening

I leave my hands open and still

The rain keeps writing on the roofline

And I let the quiet fill (ooh)
