[Verse 1] You kept the blue tin by the kitchen door Filled with buttons, thread, and a faded floor plan Sunday dust came through the window screen While you hummed low and folded every clean hand towel [Pre-Chorus] I was small enough to fit beneath your coat You said, “Take your time, the road will wait” [Chorus] I carry that kindness where I go In the way I leave one lamp on low In the extra chair beside the table In the hands I lend when someone’s not able You gave me more than I could know A quiet place to begin and grow [Verse 2] The porch swing counted out the afternoon Apricot jam cooling near the open window You wrote my name inside a library book So every borrowed page would lead me back home [Pre-Chorus] Years have turned the garden into grass Still your patient voice comes drifting past [Chorus] I carry that kindness where I go In the way I leave one lamp on low In the extra chair beside the table In the hands I lend when someone’s not able You gave me more than I could know A quiet place to begin and grow [Bridge] If I find you in the ordinary things A wool scarf, a kettle, early spring I’ll stop and let the whole world pass And hold the moment while it lasts [Final Chorus] I carry that kindness where I go In the way I leave one lamp on low In the extra chair beside the table In the hands I lend when someone’s not able You gave me more than I could know A quiet place to begin and grow A quiet place to begin and grow [Outro] The blue tin rests beside my door And I know what all that waiting was for
