Lyrics
The copper pipe beneath the kitchen sink
Was weeping on the warped particle board.
The third August, too hot and tired to think,
You knelt down on the worn linoleum floor.
[Chorus]
And we never said the word out loud
Just passed the tools between our quiet hands.
A little sunlight breaking through a cloud,
The silent way a body understands.
[Verse 2]
Your knuckles looked like mountains on the wrench,
I smelled the mildew and the plumber's putty.
"Hand me the Teflon tape," from in the trench
Of that dark cabinet, your voice all dusty.
[Chorus]
And we never said the word out loud
Just passed the tools between our quiet hands.
A little sunlight breaking through a cloud,
The silent way a body understands.

[Chorus]
(Key change up)
And we never said the word out loud
Just passed the tools between our quiet hands.
A little sunlight breaking through a cloud,
The silent way a body understands.
[Outro]
The drip is gone.
Just the refrigerator's hum.
