Morning light honest love

The dust is dancing in the morning light,

We spent the hours talking through the night.

There's a comfort in the way you look at me,

Quiet as the shadows on the sea.

Coffee's cold but the kettle's on the stove,

A simple kind of radical, honest love.

Oh, it's just the steady beat of a heart in time,

Like a mountain standing in the morning shine.

No gold or silver, just the grain and the wood,

Knowing that the simple things are truly good.

Truly good!

You're humming songs I haven't heard in years,

Washing out the salt from all the old-time tears.

A patched-up quilt and a fire on the grate,

Finding beauty in the things that have to wait.

We don't need the noise or the neon signs,

Just the quiet rhythm of the ancient pines.

Oh, it's just the steady beat of a heart in time,

Like a mountain standing in the morning shine.

No gold or silver, just the grain and the wood,

Knowing that the simple things are truly good.

Truly good!

(Mm-mm, ooh-ooh)

Everything we need is right here in this room,

Like a desert flower waiting for the bloom.

Oh, it's just the steady beat of a heart in time!

Like a mountain standing in the morning shine!

No gold or silver, just the grain and the wood!

Knowing that the simple things are truly good!

Yeah, truly good!

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Yeah, truly good...

(Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm)

Just the wood and the light.
