Frayed Knit Wings

[Intro]
[Verse]
Sky turned a bruised shade of plum
Waiting for the rain to come
I saw you in the clover deep
A promise that I had to keep
Soaked through to the tiny bone
You were shaking all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Water streaks the rusted screen
Quietest sight I’ve ever seen
Thunder rolls a distant drum
I feel my senses going numb
[Chorus]
In a frayed knit towel, warm and grey
I’ll wash the stormy clouds away
Softly humming tunes you know
While the summer breezes blow
Small heart beating against my palm
Keeping both our spirits calm
[Post-Chorus]
Small heart beating fast
The storm has finally passed
[Verse]
Cross-legged on the cedar wood
Doing what I know I should
Muted piano down the hall
Shadows dancing on the wall
The smell of rain and damp earth
Giving kindness a second birth
[Pre-Chorus]
Wind chimes whisper in the dark
Waiting for a single spark
The world is vast and you are small
But I will catch you if you fall
[Chorus]
In a frayed knit towel, warm and grey
I’ll wash the stormy clouds away
Softly humming tunes you know
While the summer breezes blow
Small heart beating against my palm
Keeping both our spirits calm
[Bridge]
Just a breath between us two
Me and a bird of dusty blue
No words are needed in this space
Just the light upon your face
Fragile life in a simple wrap
Time is falling in my lap
[Hook]
Fly away when the sun is new
I’ll be here still missing you
[Verse]
First light hits the garden gate
Morning doesn't like to wait
You stretch your wings and test the air
Leaving all your heavy care
A sudden blur of brown and gold
A story that will stay untold
[Chorus]
In a frayed knit towel, warm and grey
I’ll wash the stormy clouds away
Softly humming tunes you know
While the summer breezes blow
Small heart beating against my palm
Keeping both our spirits calm
[Post-Chorus]
Small heart beating fast
The storm has finally passed
[Outro]
