Set the Bags Down
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
I stopped between the cars with you
Rain had made the tarmac blue
Bags grew heavy in my hand
But I was in no rush to land

[Chorus]
Bertram, you make the waiting sweet
Bertram, slow down my feet
No place I'd rather stand and stall
Than right here, loving you through it all

[Verse 2]
The porch light waited, far and warm
But you were shelter from the storm
I let the groceries touch the ground
Just to keep you standing round

[Pre-chorus]
Something in the way you grinned
Told me this was not the end
Told me we had just begun

[Chorus]
Bertram, you make the waiting sweet
Bertram, slow down my feet
No place I'd rather stand and stall
Than right here, loving you through it all

[Bridge]
Let the bread get wet and cold
I've got something worth more, to hold
Every plain and ordinary night
Turns to something when you're in my sight

[Chorus]
Bertram, you make the waiting sweet
Bertram, slow down my feet
No place I'd rather stand and stall
Than right here, loving you through it all

[Outro]
Still the tarmac shines with rain
But I'd stand there once again
