Slow Days, Soft Lights

Soft lights hanging from the ceiling

Quiet songs I barely notice playing

People talking low and slow

Moments passing, letting go

Nothing here I need to chase

Just this time, just this place

Slow days, soft lights

Everything feels kind tonight

I don’t mind if time just stays

Right here in these slow days

Spoons and cups and gentle sounds

Rain is falling somewhere out

I write nothing, still it’s fine

Empty words and peaceful mind

I don’t need a perfect view

This small world will do

Slow days, soft lights

Everything feels kind tonight

I don’t mind if time just stays

Right here in these slow days

If the city moves too fast

I’ll remember moments like that

Simple songs and quiet scenes

Are softer than they seem

Slow days, soft lights

All my worries out of sight

I don’t need to run away

I belong to these slow days

When I leave, I’ll take this tune

Humming softly all the way home
