Kindness - Quiet Company

Open up the cloud, let the flood come down and wash the earth

Carry all the dust and the dirt and the ash of what we were

And the wolves only come at night

But darlin', you and I, we were made for the light

Open up the clouds, let the flood come down on me

And I’ll say with all the confidence I have

If your feet are getting tired I can take you on my back

And we will carry one another as we march into the sun

Saying darlin' I will never get enough

Of your kindness, of your laughter, of your love

I can hear the trees as they bend in the breeze and they call our names

Calling us forth, we were born from the earth in a golden age

And I walked all across this land looking for a love I could understand

Looking for a price that a soul could pay and a blessed plot of land

Where our bodies lay with a stone put above our heads, it’ll mark our place

Say that we will always be this way

Always moving, always shaking

Always building, always breaking

I’m gonna love you 'til the grave

I’ll make songs of all the things we said

Build a monument in the place we met

Teach the cynics what it means to be in love
