Apron Soft String

[Intro]

(Tie) Soft string —

Apron waits

[Verse 1]

Quiet kitchen, cotton tie, an apron hanging by the rail,

I loop the string around my waist — a careful little trail;

No hurry in the woven edge, just work enough to stay,

If kindness can be this ordinary, then it can start today.

[Pre-Chorus]

Tie it close... breathe slow...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Apron soft string — I'm tying kind,

Little steady yes inside my hand;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

If the day feels safe, that's fair —

Apron soft string — I'm tying kind,

Quiet cloth and quiet grin;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

Tie it once and I begin.

[Verse 2]

Later on the knot is calm, the rail holds a pale gold line,

No speech required, just a string that kept a promise small;

I hang the apron for the night — the day can find its pace,

Ordinary care in evening light is how I hold the space.

[Pre-Chorus]

Tie it close... breathe slow...

Ready.

[Chorus]

Apron soft string — I'm tying kind,

Little steady yes inside my hand;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

If the day feels safe, that's fair —

Apron soft string — I'm tying kind,

Quiet cloth and quiet grin;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

Tie it once and I begin.

[Bridge]

Not every comfort needs a stage,

Some of them fit in a soft cloth page;

Hope and cotton equal parts —

Kitchen looks good on a careful heart.

[Final Chorus]

Apron soft string — I'm tying kind,

Little steady yes inside my hand;

Warm stays soft a little bright, warm stays soft a little bright,

If the day feels safe, that's fair —

Apron soft string — I'm tying kind,

Quiet cloth and quiet grin;

Warm stays soft a little bright — and I begin,

Tie it once and I begin.

[Outro]

(Tie) Soft string...

Warm stays soft.
