Lyrics
[Bright Rhodes Chords Intro]
The wooden slats tilt toward the day,
gold stripes across the parquet floor.
[Verse 1]
I wake to rays that do not ask,
for reasons why the tears were shed.
The linen sheets are crisp and dry,
upon my solitary bed.
A sparrow perches on the sill,
it shakes the dew from feathers brown.
I stretch my shoulders in the warmth,
and let the tension down.
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee brews a roasted scent,
the steam curls upward in the breeze.
My breath is steady and untied,
at ease among the trees.
[Chorus]
Sunlight through the blind.
It paints the kitchen in a golden hue,
no longer waiting here for you.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
sunlight through the blind.
[Verse 2]
I water mint along the ledge,
green leaves unfurling to the sky.
The radio plays morning tunes,
and not a single memory why.
The yellow mug is warm and sweet,
with honey stirred into the cup.
I open wide the double glass,
and look directly up.
[Chorus]
Sunlight through the blind.
It paints the kitchen in a golden hue,
no longer waiting here for you.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
sunlight through the blind.
[Bridge]
Oh, the morning doesn't hold a grudge,
it brings the fresh white page today.
I step outside with lighter shoes,
and walk the open way.
[Chorus]
Sunlight through the blind.
It paints the kitchen in a golden hue,
no longer waiting here for you.
No heavy anchor pulling down the sound,
sunlight through the blind.
[Upbeat Synth Fade Outro]
Green leaves unfurling to the sky...
Sunlight through the blind.
[Fade Out]
[End]
