Mockingbird
Lyrics by:Clovin
Composed by:Clovin
Sunlight cuts a perfect line across the kitchen floor
You're curled up on the windowsill you've been there since before
I poured the coffee watched the steam rise up and disappear
This quiet morning symphony is all I wanna hear
You turn a page the sound so soft a whisper in the room
Outside the world is rushing but in here there's ample room
For silence that's not empty filled with presence warm and deep
A promise that we're keeping while the city is asleep
And it's just a window seat glow
A quiet place we both know
Where the hours gently slow
In this golden morning show
No grand plans nowhere to go
Just your hand and mine in the afterglow
In the window seat glow
You point out at a sparrow landing on the fire escape
A simple observation no discussion we need to make
Just sharing in the noticing the ordinary grace
That finds its way into this slow and tender space
My thoughts they used to race ahead to problems yet to form
But anchored by your calm I weather any coming storm
Not with speeches or solutions but with just a steady glance
That says I see you fully and I'm giving you the chance
And it's just a window seat glow
A quiet place we both know
Where the hours gently slow
In this golden morning show
No grand plans nowhere to go
Just your hand and mine in the afterglow
In the window seat glow
They talk of love in fireworks in gestures loud and bold
But I have found the universe in stories softly told
In sharing of a blanket when the afternoon grows cold
In a silent understanding more precious than pure gold
This is the fabric thread by thread the daily peace we sew
The sun has climbed the light has shifted on the wall
A different angle but the feeling doesn't change at all
We'll move eventually start the rhythm of the day
But we carry this with us this gentle glowing way
