Original lyric sketch · Fictional voice · Lyrics only · Care with room to breathe
Verse
Under the ordinary lamp
a quieter line comes through:
the words of the honest limit
have a little work to do.
Refrain
A welcome has a space where your answer ought to be.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.
