Sisters’ Quiet Light

[Intro] Rain on the window, a quietbell sighs Two names on the mailbox, one heart that tries [Verse 1] I count the footsteps of your velvet shoes Inheritances of light I barely use Your laughter rings like coins in a jar While I measure miles from where you are [Pre-Chorus] If I whisper your name, does it echo right Or fold into shadows of the quiet night [Chorus] I envy your sunshine, I envy your grace I’m learning to stand in my own quiet space Your silver spoon shines on a crowded scene But I’m learning to bloom where I’ve always been [Verse 2] We wore the same last name like a coat too tight You wore it with diamonds, I wore the night I trace your footsteps in the frost of dawn Wishing my own footprints could carry on [Pre-Chorus] If I whisper your name, does it fade to breeze Or cling to the scars I’m trying to release [Chorus] I envy your sunshine, I envy your grace I’m learning to stand in my own quiet space Your silver spoon shines on a crowded scene But I’m learning to bloom where I’ve always been [Bridge] Maybe doors swing differently when you choose to stay I’ll mend the edges of my heart, day by day If love can grow where envy used to sting I’ll find my rhythm in the chorus I bring [Chorus] I envy your sunshine, I envy your grace I’m learning to stand in my own quiet space Your silver spoon shines on a crowded scene But I’m learning to bloom where I’ve always been [Outro] Rain slows to a whisper, the room grows thin Acceptance answers with a gentle grin I’ll walk my own path with a softer light And carry you softly in the folds of night
