[Intro] (Soft piano, first light through the kitchen blinds) [Verse 1] You pour the coffee slow, like the day can wait Steam rising up between us in the quiet Your hair still holds the shape of sleep And I've never seen mercy look so right [Pre-Chorus] The world outside can hurry on without us In here, your breathing sets the time [Chorus] There's morning in your hands And peace I finally understand You don't promise me forever, you just stay In the softest, simplest way There's morning in your hands [Verse 2] You laugh at nothing much, and the room turns gold Your robe slipping easy off one shoulder All the years I spent running from the calm And here it is, just growing older [Pre-Chorus] The world outside can hurry on without us In here, your breathing sets the time [Chorus] There's morning in your hands And peace I finally understand You don't promise me forever, you just stay In the softest, simplest way There's morning in your hands [Bridge] (Voice low, almost a prayer) If love is just a place you learn to land Then let me land right where you stand [Final Chorus] There's morning in your hands And peace I finally understand You don't promise me forever, you just stay In the softest, simplest way There's morning in your hands [Outro] (Piano alone, a soft hum) Morning... in your hands.
