Bottom Step
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Two mugs going cold out here
Steam has given up and gone
You still haven't touched your tea
Too busy watching the light come on

[Pre-chorus]
I could sit here half the morning
Just to hear you breathe beside me
Something's building up in me now

[Chorus]
Bertie, you're the reason I sit still
Even when the kettle's long run dry
I've counted every kind of comfort
Bertie, you're the best of what's nearby

[Verse 2]
You blow across the top of yours
Like it's still too hot to touch
Nothing that we say this morning
Needs to carry very much

[Chorus]
Bertie, you're the reason I sit still
Even when the kettle's long run dry
I've counted every kind of comfort
Bertie, you're the best of what's nearby

[Bridge]
No need to fill the quiet up
One more minute, then we'll rise
Whatever else the day is bringing
Right now I've got you and this sky

[Chorus]
Bertie, you're the reason I sit still
Even when the kettle's long run dry
I've counted every kind of comfort
Bertie, you're the best of what's nearby

[Outro]
Two mugs left out on the step
Long gone cold, and I don't mind
