Wet Coats by the Door
Style: Gospel soul

[Verse 1]
Rain soaked through both our coats tonight
Two pairs of shoes set side by side
I hung the black coat up to dry
You laughed and shook the water off your sleeve

[Pre-chorus]
Nothing fancy in the way we live
Just steady hands and things we give
And still my heart won't settle till

[Chorus]
Anna, you're the calm behind my door
I never loved this simple way before
Anna, hold on, don't let go of my hand
There's no one else I'd rather stand with

[Verse 2]
Some nights we don't say much at all
Just wet shoes drying by the wall
You hum something low under your breath
And I forget what I was worried for

[Chorus]
Anna, you're the calm behind my door
I never loved this simple way before
Anna, hold on, don't let go of my hand
There's no one else I'd rather stand with

[Bridge]
I don't need the grand or the loud
Just you, unhurried in a crowd
Steady is the rarest kind of gift
And you give it without even trying

[Chorus]
Anna, you're the calm behind my door
I never loved this simple way before
Anna, hold on, don't let go of my hand
There's no one else I'd rather stand with

[Outro]
The coats are dry now by the door
Still I'd choose this every time, once more
