One Small Hour at a Time

You left your blue cup by the sink

Rain made a map across the glass

I read the note you couldn't finish

Then let the kettle cool at last

Take your time, the morning's wide

Nothing here is asking us to run

Leave the curtains open on the day

We can meet it one small hour at a time

The neighbor's radio slips through the wall

A piano lesson, scales and stops

I fold the blanket where you sat

And watch the steam lift from my cup

Take your time, the morning's wide

Nothing here is asking us to run

Leave the curtains open on the day

We can meet it one small hour at a time

One small hour at a time

You can take your time
