Small Good Things

Intro (Ooh) small and enough Verse Bread that was still warm when I got home, a stranger who held the door. The bus arrived exactly when it said — I don't ask the day for more. Pre-Chorus I used to wait on the big one, some morning that would settle the score. It never came. Something quieter did: a hundred little doors. Chorus Small good things — they never knock, they just arrive. A song, a coat, a kettle on, that's how a man stays alive. Verse Rain on the shoulder of a borrowed coat, a dog that didn't bark. The neighbour's radio through the wall playing something in the dark. Chorus Small good things — they never knock, they just arrive. A song, a coat, a kettle on, that's how a man stays alive. Bridge I'm not counting blessings like a debt, I'm learning what to see. The gold was never up ahead — it was here at the table with me. Chorus Small good things — they never knock, they just arrive. A song, a coat, a kettle on, that's how a man stays alive. Outro (Ooh) bread, and light, and being known. (Ooh) still standing when the loud things are gone.
