Tow Truck Tenderness

Lyrics

Hazards blinking in the rain on the shoulder of the road
Engine gave its last breath and I'm carrying the load
Phone at ten percent and the night is closing in
Then amber lights come rolling like a kindness from within
He steps out in the drizzle with a smile like open doors
Says no worries, I got you, I've seen this many times before
Hands that know what trouble is and how to make it light
A stranger in a yellow coat who makes it feel all right

Tow truck tenderness, in the storm, you came
Tow truck tenderness, you never asked my name
Just a hook and a hand and a heart that was kind
Brought me back from the rain, left the worry behind

He hands me a umbrella and a coffee from the cab
Says sit tight, you're safe now, it's the least I have
Chains clink, the winch hums, the headlights paint the street
Every drop of rain turns into a quiet heartbeat
Radio plays low and I laugh for the first time
Told him I was scared and he said that's not a crime
All the tiny kindnesses that nobody ever sees
Hold the whole world steady when it's falling to its knees

Tow truck tenderness, in the storm, you came
Tow truck tenderness, you never asked my name
Just a hook and a hand and a heart that was kind
Brought me back from the rain, left the worry behind

Oh, thank you, thank you, I'll remember this
The warmth of a stranger in a night like this
Oh, thank you, thank you, passing it along
A little bit of kindness keeps the whole world strong

Tow truck tenderness, in the storm, you came
Tow truck tenderness, you never asked my name
Just a hook and a hand and a heart that was kind
Brought me back from the rain, left the worry behind

In the storm, you came
Tenderness, no name
