[Verse 1]
Spring left a trace on the sill
Green on the edge of the glass
Your coat on the chair by the door
Like you were here in a past
You smiled like you knew my name
Before I could ask for it
I kept my hands in my sleeves
Hoping my face would admit
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a hush in the room
When you lean in near
Like the whole wide world
Grew quiet here
[Chorus]
Tender spark, stay low
Tender spark, don’t go
Secret warmth in your palm
Like a small hidden flame
Tender spark, dance slow
Tender spark, I know
You and I, soft as rain
Learning each other’s name
[Verse 2]
The pear tree is barely awake
All white at the branch tips
And every small thing you touch
Seems brighter for a second
You leave me a look at the door
Then turn like a story not told
I follow the path in your eyes
And find a warm place to hold
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a hush in the room
When you lean in near
Like the whole wide world
Grew quiet here
[Chorus]
Tender spark, stay low
Tender spark, don’t go
Secret warmth in your palm
Like a small hidden flame
Tender spark, dance slow
Tender spark, I know
You and I, soft as rain
Learning each other’s name
[Bridge]
If you are a secret, keep
Just enough for me
In the folds of the morning
In the crease of the leaves
I won’t ask for forever
Just this careful bloom
Your quiet light beside me
Turning on the room
[Chorus]
Tender spark, stay low
Tender spark, don’t go
Secret warmth in your palm
Like a small hidden flame
Tender spark, dance slow
Tender spark, I know
You and I, soft as rain
Learning each other’s name
[Outro]
Tender spark
Soft and near
Gentle dance
Stay right here
