[Verse 1] I put the kettle on slow While the whole house holds its breath Rain on the windowpane Like the night can't find the rest Your boots by the back door Still muddy from the road But I see your shoulders drop When you let the burden go [Pre-Chorus] Mm, we've been bending In the hard wind all week But I feel something turning Deep in the creek Hold on, baby Don't let go of that thread I can hear the morning Turning in your head [Chorus] Better days soon Better days soon We gonna rise, baby We gonna rise through Better days soon Better days soon Keep your heart open Better days soon (better days soon) [Verse 2] The landlord called twice And the car made that old cough Still you kissed my forehead Said, "We’re not giving up" I watched you mend the sleeve On your brother's Sunday coat There was grace in your hands Like a light under smoke [Pre-Chorus] Mm, we've been bending In the hard wind all week But I feel something turning Deep in the creek Hold on, baby Don't let go of that thread I can hear the morning Turning in your head [Chorus] Better days soon Better days soon We gonna rise, baby We gonna rise through Better days soon Better days soon Keep your heart open Better days soon (better days soon) [Bridge] If the floorboards groan And the cupboard runs thin We can still make a home Out of what we bring One spoon, one song One hand in the dark Love don't need a mansion To light up a heart [Final Chorus] Better days soon Better days soon We gonna rise, baby We gonna rise through Better days soon Better days soon Sing it back, sugar Better days soon (better days soon) Better days soon Better days soon One more dawn coming I know it in my bones Better days soon (better days soon)
