Quiet of the Heart
[Verse 1] The kitchen clock turns to midnight again There's a photo of Us on the windowsill I pull my sweater across my shoulders And look out onto the hills The town is holding its breath below The fields are grey and wide Then the moon rises up like a silver door And another old year steps aside [Pre-Chorus] I thought the morning had to find me With the curtains thrown apart But the first light begins much earlier In the quiet of the heart [Chorus] All great beginnings start in the dark When the moon greets you to a new day at midnight One small breath, one steady heart I can leave what I was and walk into my own life If the road begins where the daylight ends Then I’ll meet it here, where the night turns kind All great beginnings start in the dark When the moon says, “Go on, girl... it’s your time” [Verse 2] There’s frost along the garden gate A truck sputters down the street I hear my boots crunching on the gravel path Keeping rhythm and time beneath me There's No grand message shining from the heavens There's No hand to pull me through Just the pale moon over the water tower And a choice I get to choose [Pre-Chorus] I thought I needed all the answers Before I dared to start But the first step finds its footing In the quiet of the heart [Chorus] All great beginnings start in the dark When the moon greets you to a new day at midnight One small breath, one steady heart I can leave what I was and walk into my own life If the road begins where the daylight ends Then I’ll meet it here, where the night turns kind All great beginnings start in the dark When the moon says, “Go on, girl... it’s your time” [Bridge] By the time the eastern windows Take the color of the flame I won’t be the one who waited For permission to change Let the morning find me moving Let it find me somewhere new With the moon still at my shoulder And the whole wide sky in view [Final Chorus] All great beginnings start in the dark When the moon greets you to a new day at midnight One small breath, one steady heart I can leave what I was and walk into my own life If the road begins where the daylight ends Then I’ll meet it here, where the night turns kind All great beginnings start in the dark When the moon says, “Go on, girl... it’s your time” [Outro] The clock turns over, the fields grow pale I take the path and follow The moon lets go, the day comes in I’m already on my way
