Wind and Wooden Pegs
Style: Chamber folk

[Verse 1]
I pin the socks up one by one
and think of how you hold the line
steady when the weather turns
that quiet strength of yours is mine

[Chorus]
Alexander, hold on tight
the wind can pull but never wins
you're the calm inside my storm
Alexander, love begins

[Verse 2]
You laugh at how the pegs all match
you say I line them up too neat
but you're the one who ties me down
in ways that make my whole world sweet

[Pre-chorus]
Some days the rope goes slack and low
some days it holds against the gale
either way I'm here with you

[Chorus]
Alexander, hold on tight
the wind can pull but never wins
you're the calm inside my storm
Alexander, love begins

[Bridge]
No grand gesture, just this rope
just your hand still holding mine
through the ordinary weather
we keep choosing, every time

[Chorus]
Alexander, hold on tight
the wind can pull but never wins
you're the calm inside my storm
Alexander, love begins

[Outro]
The socks dry soft against the line
and so do I, still held by you
