[Intro] [vinyl hiss, light rain, porch creak] Count the drops on the porch light chain [Verse 1] Coffee steam on a windowpane Boots by the mat, little streaks of clay Garden rows take a breath of rain Crickets fade as the clouds turn gray Old piano in the corner hums Two soft chords and a sleepy sway I move slow like the river runs Let the morning set the day [Hook] Raindrops keep time with the creek Heart beats one two, soft and sweet If I plant a hope I keep It will wake when the sun peeks through Raindrops keep time with the creek Lantern glow on the eaves so blue If the night feels wide and deep I will hum till the stars hum too [Verse 2] Fishing line on a nickel ring Ripples bloom where the cedar leans Mine cart dust on an evening wind Pocket stones and a pocket dream Mailbox notes on a market day Straw hat tilt and a simple tune Fireflies draw their quiet shape Round the fence in a silver noon [Hook] Raindrops keep time with the creek Heart beats one two, soft and sweet If I plant a hope I keep It will wake when the sun peeks through Raindrops keep time with the creek Lantern glow on the eaves so blue If the night feels wide and deep I will hum till the stars hum too [Bridge] [soft thunder roll, glockenspiel sprinkles] Hands in the soil, I breathe and wait Seeds learn my name, the rows feel safe Steps on the path, a gentle proof Home can be quiet and still be true [Hook] Raindrops keep time with the creek Heart beats one two, soft and sweet If I plant a hope I keep It will wake when the sun peeks through Raindrops keep time with the creek Lantern glow on the eaves so blue If the night feels wide and deep I will hum till the stars hum too [Outro] [door click, kettle sigh, rain continues] Count the drops on the porch light chain
