Ordinary Miracle Seen

(Verse 1)

I’m watching the steam rise off of my tea

A quiet morning that used to be"we"

The dust motes are dancing in a slant of the sun

Small, tiny battles that they’ve already won

I used to miss mountains, I used to want fire

But now I’m just tracing the telephone wire.

(Chorus)

It’s an ordinary miracle, finally clear

That life keeps on moving while you aren’t here

The clock on the wall has a steady, soft beat

And the world doesn’t end when we’re incomplete

It’s a heartbreaking beauty, a slow, steady light

Learning to breathe in the wake of"goodnight."

(Verse 2)

There’s a bird on the fence with a song for the rain

It doesn’t know anything about my pain

The neighbors are laughing, the mailman just came

The street looks the same, even without your name

I thought that the colors would all turn to grey

But the blue in the sky hasn't drifted away.

(Bridge)

It’s not a grand gesture, no lightning, no thunder

Just the soft weight of all that I’m under

Finding the grace in the laundry and lace

In the quietest corners of this empty space.

(Chorus)

It’s an ordinary miracle, finally clear

That life keeps on moving while you aren’t here

The clock on the wall has a steady, soft beat

And the world doesn’t end when we’re incomplete

It’s a heartbreaking beauty, a slow, steady light

Learning to breathe in the wake of"goodnight."

(Outro)

I’m still here...

The kettle is whistling...

The shadows are long...

Just an ordinary miracle...
