歌詞

Morning on the kettle

Shoes by the door

Keys in the bowl

You already want more

I tie my day up

In a clean white line

One eye on the clock

One hand on your hand

The bus takes corners

The city takes mine

I keep my head clear

I keep my heart kind

Tell me what you need

I’ll meet you halfway

We can build a life

Out of the ordinary day

Slow fire, keep us warm

Slow fire, through the storm

Slow fire, we go on

Slow fire, all day long

Slow fire, in my chest

Slow fire, do your best

Slow fire, rise and glow

Slow fire, let it grow

Workday papers folding

Coffee stain on blue

I say caution, darling

To the rush in you

Don’t let a hard word

Turn into a wall

One small grace can catch us

Before we fall

There’s a child in the laughter

A teen in the dare

A grown-up in the mirror

Still fixing their hair

Tell me what you need

I’ll meet you halfway

We can build a life

Out of the ordinary day

Slow fire, keep us warm

Slow fire, through the storm

Slow fire, we go on

Slow fire, all day long

Slow fire, in my chest

Slow fire, do your best

Slow fire, rise and glow

Slow fire, let it grow

Evening in the windows

Shoes kicked by the wall

We bring home the heavy

And we drop it all

You lean on my shoulder

I lean on your truth

Every age remembers

What it learned from youth

Old songs in the hallway

New steps on the floor

Same soft revolution

We still want more

Tell me what you need

I’ll meet you halfway

We can build a life

Out of the ordinary day

Slow fire, keep us warm

Slow fire, through the storm

Slow fire, we go on

Slow fire, all day long

Slow fire, in my chest

Slow fire, do your best

Slow fire, rise and glow

Slow fire, let it grow

Midnight on the window

Rain on the glass

We don’t chase forever

We let it pass

Hold the little warning

Hold the tender touch

Love that lasts through changing

Is just enough

No need for thunder

No need to prove

We can be steady

That’s how we move

Day by day

Step by step

We keep what matters

We protect what’s left

Slow fire, keep us warm

Slow fire, through the storm

Slow fire, we go on

Slow fire, all day long

Slow fire, in my chest

Slow fire, do your best

Slow fire, rise and glow

Slow fire, let it grow

Slow fire, keep us here

Slow fire, year to year

Slow fire, when night falls

Slow fire, through it all

Morning, evening, usual day

We find our light in a human way

Morning, evening, usual day

We keep it gentle, we keep it safe
