[Verse 1]
You leave the hallway lamp on low
And set two cups beside the stove
The rain keeps time against the glass
While all the hurried hours pass

[Pre-Chorus]
You ask me what I couldn’t say
Then let the silence have its way

[Chorus]
You make a little room for me
When I forget what I can be
No grand display, no grand design
Just your hand reaching out for mine
And when the whole day falls apart
You keep a quiet place in your heart

[Verse 2]
Your old blue coat is on the chair
A strand of silver in your hair
You hum the tune you learned at home
And somehow I don’t feel alone

[Pre-Chorus]
You see the bruise beneath the brave
And never ask me to be saved

[Chorus]
You make a little room for me
When I forget what I can be
No grand display, no grand design
Just your hand reaching out for mine
And when the whole day falls apart
You keep a quiet place in your heart

[Bridge]
If I could give you back one thing
It wouldn’t need a golden ring
A Sunday morning, slow and clear
A hundred ordinary years

[Final Chorus]
You make a little room for me
And let me grow into my feet
No grand display, no grand design
Just your hand reaching out for mine
And when the whole day falls apart
You keep a quiet place in your heart
You keep a quiet place in your heart

[Outro]
Two cups cooling by the stove
The lamp still on, the rain moved on
