[Verse 1] You ride home slow Past the feed store sign I see your brake lights glow Like they were mine Your porch lamp stays on Even after dark You say my name real soft It leaves a mark [Pre-Chorus] And the whole town sleeps But I don't move You're right there In my slow pulse groove [Chorus] Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) Hold me where the cornrows bend Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) You and me, we don't need much We just keep this promise (keep this promise) [Verse 2] Your laugh hits low Through the screen door screen I stand in the yard Like a kid in a dream You brush my sleeve When your father calls And my heart goes loud In that little hall [Pre-Chorus] And the whole town sleeps But I still feel Your hand in mine Making hard days heal [Chorus] Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) Hold me where the cornrows bend Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) You and me, we don't need much We just keep this promise (keep this promise) [Bridge] If the river rises If the seasons turn I'll be on your side Let the whole place learn We don't need a stage We don't need a crowd Just your front step light And my heart out loud [Final Chorus] Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) Hold me where the cornrows bend Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) You and me, we don't need much We just keep this promise (keep this promise) Quiet love, don't go (quiet love) Stay with me till morning comes
