[Verse 1]
Steam rising
From a chipped blue mug
Bare feet in the grass
Still cool from the dark
Knees in the dirt
Old sweater
Loose sleeves
Breathing in basil and rosemary
Slow little start
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of heaven in the garden
Hands in the soil
Let the heart soften
Every little leaf knows my name this morning
I’m just listening
While the day comes in
[Verse 2]
Robins arguing
Over seeds by the fence
A bee bumps clumsy
Through the marigolds
Tomato vines leaning
On their crooked sticks
I tuck them in closer
Like secrets I hold
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of heaven in the garden
Hands in the soil
Let the heart soften
Every little leaf knows my name this morning
I’m just listening
While the day comes in
[Bridge]
I don’t need answers
Just this gentle air (mm-hmm)
Petals on my fingers
Dirt under there
If the world goes rushing
I’ll stay right here
Counting blessings
One small flower
One clear tear
[Chorus]
It’s a quiet kind of heaven in the garden
Hands in the soil
Let the heart soften
Every little leaf knows my name this morning
I’m just listening
While the day comes in
Just listening
While the day comes in
