You leave the porch light on
For shoes by the door
A hand on my sleeve
Like you know me more
You fix my collar slow
Say nothing at all
Still the whole room shifts
When your fingers fall
And it’s small
But it’s gold
The way you look at me
And let me know
Quiet love
Quiet love
You say it soft
And it stays
Quiet love
Quiet love
No big parade
Just stay
Your mug on my sink
My keys by the bowl
A note on the fridge
That says you’re home
You laugh at the rain
When it taps the roof
I never need much
When I’m near you
And it’s small
But it’s gold
The way you hold my hand
And never show
Quiet love
Quiet love
You say it soft
And it stays
Quiet love
Quiet love
No big parade
Just stay
If the world gets loud
Let it spin away
I want your calm
In the middle of the day
No chasing spark
No falling apart
Just your steady breath
And my beating heart
Quiet love
Quiet love
You say it soft
And it stays
Quiet love
Quiet love
No big parade
Just stay
Quiet love
Quiet love
You and me
All day
