[Verse 1] You came like rain on dry hands Like gold on a cracked front step Like apricots in a tin bowl Like a match in a dark room kept You turned my ribs to a garden My Sunday shoes to a hymn You made the hard days bend over Like trees when the storm rolled in [Pre-Chorus] And I was all locked doors You were the key in my coat I was a paper boat You were the river I chose [Chorus] Love, you are my honey moon ladder My bright kite caught in the blue Love, you are my open window Every good thing walks through Love, you are my honey moon ladder (hey, my honey moon ladder) You pull me up, pull me through Love, you are my open window And I keep opening too [Verse 2] You’re a lantern in apple orchards A silver fish in my palms A wild bird nesting in my throat Making a home out of calm You are the porch after thunder The first warm bite of June The moon in a jar by my bedside The tide that knew my name too soon [Pre-Chorus] And I was all rough edges You were the cloth on my skin I was a half-lit hallway You were the way in [Chorus] Love, you are my honey moon ladder My bright kite caught in the blue Love, you are my open window Every good thing walks through Love, you are my honey moon ladder (hey, my honey moon ladder) You pull me up, pull me through Love, you are my open window And I keep opening too [Bridge] You’re the salt in the peaches The spark in the wet pine wood You make my name sound softer Like the world knew it could So if the night gets heavy If the floorboards creak with rain I’ll climb you like a cedar And come back to you again [Final Chorus] Love, you are my honey moon ladder My bright kite caught in the blue Love, you are my open window Every good thing walks through Love, you are my honey moon ladder (hey, my honey moon ladder) You pull me up, pull me through Love, you are my open window And I keep opening too
