Steam and Orange Peel
Style: Country waltz

[Verse 1]
A mug of steam beside the peel
morning light on everything real
you hum a tune while you move round
I love the way that mornings feel

[Chorus]
Alice, you make the plain days shine
this quiet love of yours is mine
no palace could hold half this good
Alice, I'm glad that you are mine

[Verse 2]
You leave the peel there every day
some little proof you came this way
I keep the mug still warm for you
there's nothing here I'd trade away

[Pre-chorus]
I've known some love that turned to malice
I've seen it fade like steam from chalice
but what we've got just keeps on growing

[Chorus]
Alice, you make the plain days shine
this quiet love of yours is mine
no palace could hold half this good
Alice, I'm glad that you are mine

[Bridge]
No callous words, no walls between
just you and me and in between
the smallest things become the most
when you're the one I'm standing near

[Chorus]
Alice, you make the plain days shine
this quiet love of yours is mine
no palace could hold half this good
Alice, I'm glad that you are mine

[Outro]
The mug goes cold, the peel stays sweet
I'd know your steps in any street
