Windows Left Open

Verse

Grey light finds the sill by the bed

Curtain lifts on a breath, barely said

Sparrow tests one note on the wire

Kettle ticks as it cools by the fire

Pre-Chorus

Nothing moves, and nothing should

Only mist on the neighborhood

Chorus

Windows left open, dawn breathes through

Pale and slow, the whole room new

Nothing to fix, nothing to chase

Windows left open, holding this place

Verse

Dew sits round on the porch rail's edge

Milk-white sky past the garden hedge

Floorboards cool under bare, still feet

Morning hums low, unhurried, sweet

Pre-Chorus

Nothing moves, and nothing should

Only mist on the neighborhood

Chorus

Windows left open, dawn breathes through

Pale and slow, the whole room new

Nothing to fix, nothing to chase

Windows left open, holding this place

Bridge

Mm— the light lays down on the floor

Mm— soft as it's ever been before

No clock hands pulling me on

Just this hush before the day has begun

Chorus

Windows left open, dawn breathes through

Pale and slow, the whole room new

Nothing to fix, nothing to chase

Windows left open, holding this place
