Quiet Resolution

[Verse 1] Last turn home on the familiar road Carrying the notebook and a quiet heavy load Streetlamps blinking in a staggered routine Painting every driveway in an amber sheen Keys in the pocket with a metallic sound Footsteps resonating on the gravel on the ground Daylight is fading to a velvet shade of grey Folding up the moments that were gathered through the day [Chorus] Quiet resolution when the work is complete Listening to silence settle down on the street Paper in the binder, pen laid to rest Knowing that tomorrow is another simple test [Verse 2] Front door clicking as it opens up wide Leaving all the turbulence of traffic outside Drop the heavy coat on the peg in the hall Watch the evening shadows lengthen out across the wall Teapot on the burner with a steady low hiss Finding peace of mind in a moment like this Final lines written on the bottom of the sheet Ending every journey on a steady, calm beat
