Watch the shadow ease across the wall (version 2)

Verse

Rain quit knocking on the tin roof line

Puddles holding all the porch light, soft and fine

Your umbrella's dripping by the door

Thunder's just a memory on the floor

We're wrapped in the quiet the storm left behind

Steam curling off the kettle, taking its time

Pre-Chorus

So tell me how the sky got so still

How the wind just up and lost its will

Nothing left to chase, nothing left to prove

Just this slow unraveling, me and you

Chorus

Watch the shadow ease across the wall

Sundial motion, we're not moving fast at all

Minutes stretching soft and low

Sundial motion, let the whole world go slow

Verse

Candle wax pooling on the windowsill

City lights blinking through the drizzle, calm and still

Your fingers tracing circles on my knee

Nothing loud left, just the hush of you and me

Clock hands dragging, honey-slow tonight

We don't need the hour, just the fading light

Pre-Chorus

So tell me how the sky got so still

How the wind just up and lost its will

Nothing left to chase, nothing left to prove

Just this slow unraveling, me and you

Chorus

Watch the shadow ease across the wall

Sundial motion, we're not moving fast at all

Minutes stretching soft and low

Sundial motion, let the whole world go slow

Bridge

Maybe calm was always waiting

Underneath the noise we made

Maybe we just had to weather

Everything, to find this shade

Now the light comes through the curtain

Gold and easy, unafraid

Chorus

Watch the shadow ease across the wall

Sundial motion, we're not moving fast at all

Minutes stretching soft and low

Sundial motion, let the whole world go slow
